Viação Ouro e Prata begins the year 2021 with innovations in interstate operation. As of this month, two new bus lines are available that connect the coast and east of Santa Catarina to the northwest of Rio Grande do Sul. The novelty arrives to facilitate the life of those who need to travel safely between the two states and is a differential to meet the demand of tourism in the summer season.

Thinking about the comfort of passengers, the trip will be carried out in a semi-sleeper bus, with larger spaces between seats (which makes it easier to tilt the seats), support for legs and feet, Wi-Fi, USB ports, air conditioning, panoramic windows, minibar, individual reading lights, air conditioning and TVs.

“ All of our customers can travel safely and with the quality that has accompanied us for eight decades. This expansion of routes was organized with attention to people and reinforces the growth of our work in the Brazilian road network ” , comments Carlos Bernaud, Operations Director at Ouro e Prata.

Check out the itinerary of the two new bus lines below:

• Line 1 – Balneário Camboriú x Santa Rosa

* Departure:  Balneário Camboriú (passing through the cities of Laguna, Garopaba, Itapema and Florianópolis), arriving at Santa Rosa (passing through Santo Ângelo, Ijuí, Carazinho and Soledade).

* The return takes place through the same cities. If the passenger wants to pass through the city of Passo Fundo, it is possible to make a connection with Viação Ouro e Prata.

• Line 2 – Joinville x Santa Rosa

* Departure:  Joinville (passing through the cities of Lages, Rio do Sul, Blumenau and Jaraguá do Sul), arriving at Santa Rosa (connecting Santo Ângelo, Ijuí, Carazinho, Passo Fundo, Lagoa Vermelha and Vacaria). The return takes place through the same cities.

The new operation integrates the company’s continuous investment in innovative systems. An example of this is the CCO (Operations Control Center), a process that has a series of equipment and technological resources that help the Ouro e Prata team to constantly monitor vehicles in transit.

The purchase of tickets and the available times for the two new lines can be consulted on the Viação Ouro e Prata website ( https://www.viacaoouroeprata.com.br/ ) or at the accredited bus stations and points of sale.
