Galo da Madrugada Express has departures from four shopping malls; check schedules and boarding points

An exclusive bus line, Galo da Madrugada Express, will operate for the world's largest carnival block from four shopping malls in Greater Recife.

The Galo da Madrugada Express is an exclusive bus service designed to transport attendees to and from the festivities of the Galo da Madrugada, the largest carnival block in the world. Operating on Saturday, February 14th, the service will run from 7 AM to 6 PM, connecting major shopping centers in the Greater Recife area. Tickets are sold at 25 Brazilian Reais and allow for round-trip access, with payment options including PIX, debit cards, credit cards, or cash.

The bus service targets different regions of Recife, with specific pick-up points at the Tacaruna and Plaza shopping malls, catering to the Northern Zone of the city. Passengers heading south can board buses from the Recife and RioMar shopping malls. Both routes ensure efficient transportation directly to the parade venue at Museu Cais do Sertão, located on Avenida Alfredo Lisboa, and there will be a designated drop-off area near the Ponte Giratória in the São José neighborhood.

With the increasing popularity of the Galo da Madrugada event, this bus service aims to alleviate traffic and provide a convenient travel option for carnival-goers. It shows the local government's commitment to fostering an enjoyable carnival experience while managing urban transport effectively during peak celebratory times.
