- How far it really runs
- The route covers 839 km against 730 km in a straight line, a detour of 15 percent. Track and road geometry account for the difference.
- Where the change is

- If the connection is missed
- The tightest connection we sell here has a 20 percent chance of not being made on the timetable alone. Part of this journey is a self transfer between separate tickets, so leave more time than the minimum and expect to check in again.
- First and last departure
- The first service of the day leaves Ipatinga at 06:11 and the last at 14:53, across 5 departures. The return direction keeps its own timetable, so the times back are not these times reversed.
