Sancetur has been declared the winner of the concession to operate the South Lot of public transport in Campinas, Brazil, as announced in a public session held at B3, the local stock exchange in São Paulo. This decision came after competitive bidding where Sancetur proposed a passenger fare of R$ 9.54, significantly lower than the maximum fare set at R$ 11.21 for the lot. Following this auction, the bidding for the North Lot is scheduled to take place, which will serve different regions of the city.

The public transport auction is structured into two main segments: the South Lot, which serves the East, South, and Southwest regions; and the North Lot, designated for the North, West, and Northwest areas of Campinas. The selected company will manage the conventional bus transport system for a duration of 15 years, with an option for a five-year extension. The bidding process was designed to award the contract to the company or consortium that could provide the best value proposal for the municipality, focusing on cost-effectiveness as a crucial factor in the selection criteria.

This successful bid by Sancetur reflects a strategic move towards improving public transport efficiency and affordability in Campinas, addressing the needs of residents who rely on these services for daily commuting. It emphasizes the importance of competitive bidding in enhancing service delivery and ensuring that citizens receive quality transport options at reasonable costs, aiming to foster greater accessibility across various neighborhoods in the city.
