What are the companies that won the public transportation auction in Campinas and where do they operate
The company Sancetur and the Grande Campinas consortium won the public transport concession auction for the city of Campinas, Brazil, to operate urban buses for the next 15 years.
The public transport concession auction in Campinas, Brazil, concluded with Sancetur and the Grande Campinas consortium emerging as the winners, tasked with operating the city's urban buses for a period of 15 years, which may be extended by an additional five years.

The victory was for two lots covering different sectors of the city's public transport system, specifically the North and South regions.
Sancetur, formally known as Santa CecΓlia Turismo Ltda., secured the South Lot, serving key areas including the East, South, and Southwest regions of the city, which encompasses neighborhoods like Centro, Parque Oziel, and Ouro Verde. The company holds a social capital of R$ 100 million, as reported in the public records from the federal government portal, RedeSim. Alongside this information, details about the operational history and structure of the companies were also provided by their representatives after the auction's conclusion.
This development is significant for the city of Campinas, as it reflects a strategic move towards modernizing and improving the public transportation system. The choice of these operators aims to enhance the efficiency and affordability of urban mobility, which is crucial for the city's inhabitants and could have lasting implications on community access, economic activities, and overall urban development.
