The bus terminals in Campos dos Goytacazes, located in northern Rio de Janeiro state, are preparing for a significant influx of travelers during the Carnival period, expecting between 20,000 to 25,000 passengers. This estimate comes from the Municipal Development Company of Campos (Codemca), which is responsible for managing the bus terminals. The dates leading up to the Carnival, particularly until February 17, are crucial as many individuals begin their journey to popular holiday destinations.

Among the most sought-after destinations for this festive season are Rio de Janeiro, Macaé, and various cities within the Lagos Region, including Cabo Frio, Búzios, and Arraial do Cabo. Additionally, there's considerable interest in routes heading to the coastal region of Espírito Santo. The Shopping Estrada terminal, which focuses on interstate lines, will experience a high volume of passengers, while the Roberto Silveira bus station in the city center is popular for local trips, especially to Farol de São Tomé, which is also serviced by regular van services.

The transport companies are gearing up to accommodate the expected demands, with bus schedules to Farol and São Francisco de Itabapoana running every half hour. This proactive approach by the transport operators highlights the importance of the Carnival season for both local businesses and tourism in the region, a time when many people travel to celebrate and enjoy the festivities.
