Note
BRT buses depart from the Galeão – Tom Jobim station at Terminal 2 and run 24 hours a day via the TransCarioca corridor, with frequent services such as Penha–Galeão and Madureira–Fundão stopping at key interchanges like Penha and Olaria, where you can connect to trains or onward buses toward Centro and Terminal Gentileza. Use a Jaé/RioCard-style smart card bought at the BRT station; services are frequent but can be crowded at peak times.
