Is there Public Transport from Viracopos Airport to Sao Paulo?
Yes, there is public transport between Viracopos Airport and Sao Paulo. You can take a bus operated by VB Transportes, which runs hourly from the airport to Tietê Bus Terminal in Sao Paolo. The bus journey takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes, and the ticket costs between R$ 35 and R$ 430, depending on the class and availability. The bus is comfortable and air-conditioned, but it can be affected by traffic and weather conditions. You can buy the bus ticket online or at the airport.
Another option is to take a taxi from the airport to Ponto de Ônibus – Azul Linhas Aéreas, which is a bus stop near the airport. From there, you can take a free shuttle bus provided by Azul Airlines to Sao Paulo Airport (GRU), which is about 113 kilometres away from Viracopos Airport. The shuttle bus runs every hour and takes about 1 hour and 25 minutes to reach GRU. The taxi fare from the airport to the bus stop is around R$ 20. This option is convenient if you have a flight connection at GRU, but it can be time-consuming and expensive if you want to go to the city centre of Sao Paulo.
