The recently inaugurated bus line 77 commenced its operation on Monday, serving as a vital link between the city of Mesquita and the BRT Transbrasil system. Initially, this intermunicipal line will operate on weekdays from 10 AM to 4 PM, with a frequency of approximately every 15 minutes. This development marks a significant step in enhancing public transport access in the Baixada Fluminense region linking to the capital of Rio de Janeiro.

The new terminal, which officially opened on the previous Saturday, aims to facilitate improved circulation among cities in the area. The various BRT lines operationalized include line 70, a stopping service between the Metropolitan BRT Terminal Pedro Fernandes and Terminal Gentileza, and line 73, an express service following the same route. With these new services, the goal is to provide a more efficient public transport system for residents commuting within the region.

Additionally, the Department of Road Transport of the State of Rio de Janeiro has commented on the governance of bus routes, stating that creating intermunicipal lines is the responsibility of the state. They have indicated a willingness to engage in dialogue with the local administration for better transport integration solutions. This initiative not only enhances local mobility options but also represents a collaborative effort between state agencies and municipal authorities to improve public transport in the Greater Rio area.
