The journey

What the journey actually looks like

57% of the services we sell on this corridor run through without a change. The remaining 43% involve one connection.
How far it really runs
The route covers 2,457 km against 2,385 km in a straight line, a detour of 3 percent. Track and road geometry account for the difference.
Where the change is
Connections are made at Brasília, Belém, Recife. The gap between arriving and leaving is 92 minutes, of which about 5 is walking.
If the connection is missed
The tightest connection we sell here has a 11 percent chance of not being made on the timetable alone. Both legs are sold on one booking, so a missed connection is ours to fix and you are rebooked at no charge.
First and last departure
The first service of the day leaves Fortaleza at 06:39 and the last at 14:52, across 7 departures. The return direction keeps its own timetable, so the times back are not these times reversed.
