Buses in Rio
Hi,
Are buses in Rio safe? I'm thinking about taking the bus from the airport to Ipanema. I'm also thinking about going to Ilha Grande, Paraty, and Buzios. Is it safe to take the bus to these locations from Rio? Thanks.

Hi jjdof,
Don't worry about these buses you'll need to take.
First of all, taking a bus it's the cheapest way to reach Ipanema from the GIG Intl Airport. Look for the bus stop just outside the airport building (near the taxis). "REAL" it's the name of the bus company. It's a white bus with blue and gold letters on it. Any person could give you the directions and a lot of people speaks english.
The fare costs R$ 7,00 (seven reais), that is about USD 4,00.
The bus is extremely safe, comfortable and with AC. I don't know where you have to go exactly, but these are the Ipanema streets where the bus may stop for you:
ATLANTICA,AV.
RAINHA ELIZABETH,AV.
VIEIRA SOUTO,AV.
DELFIM MOREIRA,AV.
Ilha Grande, Búzios and Paraty are other cities. Búzios, for instance, is about 2 hours from Rio de Janeiro. The buses are quite safe to these places.
I hope you enjoy your staying here in Brazil.

We loved taking the buses in Rio, but we did avoid them at night as we'd read that that might not be the best idea.
