The short answer

The municipal bus website publishes US$0.40 (R$2) for all five local lines and an integration rule of up to two hours. Its linked route information distinguishes journeys through Figueira, Sabiá, Monte Alto and the central beaches. Start with the actual stop and destination, then check the day's timetable and return. The municipal price does not settle a regional or private transfer.

  • The published local fare is the same across five municipal lines.
  • Integration has conditions beyond the two-hour limit.
  • Check the line's weekend or holiday timetable.
  • Price regional travel separately.

Our take

Understand the municipal fare and card

The municipal page states US$0.40 (R$2) across all five lines, with cash or card payment. It describes integration within 120 minutes, subject to specific conditions. Ask which card, connection and trip rules apply before assuming your journey receives a saving. The page does not establish cash integration for every passenger.1,2

The +Mobilidade card office is listed at Rua Bento Pereira 10, Praia dos Anjos. The page names RG and CPF for registration. Ask which foreign identity is accepted in your case. Existing cards continue during the published progressive update. Confirm the current process before making a special trip.1

Check the passenger arrangement

The page says children above five pay the fare. Confirm the rule for the exact child and documents. Disability, chronic-condition and senior arrangements have their own processes. A local rental does not automatically establish eligibility.1

The municipal page permits pets in an appropriate carrier and guide dogs. It advertises accessibility equipment, but the actual boarding, stop and vehicle still need a check for your journey. Contact the operator or authority about the mobility arrangement you require.1

Try the trips that anchor the home

Test the home-to-school and home-to-care trips at the hours you need. Figueira has local urgent care, while the central hospital and specialist polyclinic have other addresses. Confirm the receiving service and the return before treating the journey as routine.4,5

For travel beyond municipal lines, get the current complete fare and route from the actual operator. Confirm baggage, passengers, collection point and late-arrival arrangements for a private transfer. Use the official booking and check the driver and vehicle details.6

Read where to live, schools, healthcare and cost of living together before choosing the address.1,4,7

Questions people ask

Is the municipal fare a fare to every nearby city?

No. The stated amount covers the five municipal lines. Confirm the actual operator, route and current fare for regional or private travel.

Does paying cash guarantee two-hour integration?

The municipal page lists cash or card payment and a conditional integration rule. Confirm the eligible card and trip conditions before assuming a saving.

What should a foreign resident ask about the mobility card?

The page names RG and CPF. Ask the card office which foreign identity and other documents it accepts for your case.

Can I use the same timetable every day?

Check the selected line's day category. The published route information includes separate weekday and weekend entries for some routes.
