Rio de Janeiro Travel Forum

I would like to know how one would travel to Salto or Sao Paolo by bus from Rio de Janiero. I could not find what bus companies have this service.

Thank you, john

Buses leave from Terminal Rodoviaria Novo Rio and the company that runs to Sao Pulo is '1001':

The journey takes 6 hours.

There are two cities in Brazil named Salto. I believe Salto you want go is in Sao Paulo State. This city is near Campinas and Itu. I think you would not find direct tickets between Rio and Salto/SP. Make a transfer in Campinas/SP.
The above link is concerned in Bus Companies Rio--> São Paulo:

I suggest Cometa or Itapemirim.

John-
You don't say what you have done to find bus companies.
This page (from a very good general site about travel in Brazil) has a link to the main site for Brazilian buses, ANTT, and instructions on how to use it.

If you pick:
Linhas que 'Fazem Seção em Uma Localidade' and put in 'Salto'
you see that the bus company for Salto, S.P. appears to be:
https://appweb.antt.gov.br/transp/secao_uma_localidade.asp
and is on the route going from Campinas to Curitiba.
Use the same technique to find the rest of your route.

As mircaskirca said, there are a lot of buses on the Rio to S.P. route.
Depending on the time of year, there is usually no need to buy waaaaaay in advance.
Boa viagem.
