In Presidente Prudente, Brazil, the second phase of changes to the city's collective transport system is set to begin on Sunday, the 15th of October. Operated by SOU Prudente, this phase will include the activation of express bus lines across various locations within the city. The new express buses will be identifiable by a blue stripe on their windshields and sides, enhancing visibility for passengers. This transformation is part of a broader effort initiated on January 1st, with the final phase expected to conclude on March 29th, aiming to improve transit efficiency for residents.

The updates will specifically benefit citizens from neighborhoods such as Vida Nova Pacaembu, Itapura, Vila Furquim, Maré Mansa, and several others, allowing for more direct routes and reduced travel times. According to the Municipal Secretary of Urban Mobility, these changes are designed to facilitate quicker movement for users within the city, as the new bus routes will now travel into residential areas, offering residents easy access to the broader transport network.

This overhaul in the transport system signifies the city’s commitment to adapting its public transit to better meet the needs of its population, particularly in response to urban growth and increased demand for efficient transportation solutions. As the implementation progresses, the municipal government is keen on monitoring the impact of these changes on traffic flow and commuter satisfaction, marking a significant step forward in modernizing Presidente Prudente's public transportation framework.
