New Bus Station to Reduce Downtown Traffic

Belo’s city planning department will start construction of a new bus station in the São Gabriel neighborhood to help ease downtown traffic which is currently made heavier by vehicles moving in and out of the central bus station.

The new location sits strategically beside the city’s ring road and on the way to Confins International Airport. A public conference center will also be built close to the station facilities making it convenient for visitors to take part in events held there. Both venues should be completed by 2014, when Belo will host some of the World Cup games.
