Roads in Brazil are generally of a good quality in and around main towns and cities, with connecting highways also of a good standard. Roads in more rural areas are likely to be in much poorer condition, and some regions are prone to flooding in the rainy season, making them impassable. Bus services make up the vast majority of public transport in the country, and fleets of modern, comfortable, air conditioned coaches can take passengers anywhere in the country – though it does take a while. Taxi services are available in towns and cities, and provide inexpensive inner city travel. Rio and Sao Paolo are home to metros and local rail lines, and Sao Paolo is increasingly seeing the use of trolleybuses. Rail travel is not a popular method of getting about the country, and connections themselves are limited with the vast majority of lines located on the Atlantic coast. If travelling in this area though, journeys are affordable, though can prove uncomfortable thanks to hot weather and a lack of air conditioning. Internal flights are frequent, run regularly and often book to full at weekends. Air taxis are available and provide a more expensive way of getting around the country, though it is much, much faster. Many private companies offer passenger ferries through Brazil’s many waterways, not least of which the Amazon Delta. This can provide a relaxing a scenic route through one of the world’s most amazing landscapes, and all for an affordable price.
