Local tips

  • City buses no longer take cash, so buy a green Jaé card at a metro, BRT or VLT station or pay with the Jaé app QR code.
  • Municipal buses, BRT and VLT cost 5 reais a ride since January 2026, while the metro is priced separately.
  • Open Office Cinelândia sells coworking days from 79 reais, a cheap way to test a desk before a month.
