São Paulo bus 2290-10 (SPTrans): route map, stops and timetable

Bus 2290-10 is an SPTrans city bus line in São Paulo that links Terminal São Mateus with Terminal Parque Dom Pedro II in the city centre. It is a long and very frequent line: 25.8 km outbound, a 5-minute interval in the morning peak and about 193 departures a day in the reference timetable. The route uses Av. Mateo Bei, Av. Rio das Pedras, Av. Cons. Carrão and Av. Celso Garcia and loops through the centre before reaching Parque Dom Pedro II. In Brazil people search for it as “ônibus 2290” or “linha 2290”; the bus sign shows 2290-10 (sometimes written 2290/10). Because “2290” on its own can be confused with other things, it is worth searching with the “-10”. Below you will find the route section by section, the hours, trip time and how to track the bus in real time.

Route of the 2290-10

São Mateus and Av. Mateo Bei. The bus leaves platform D of Terminal São Mateus and runs along almost all of Av. Mateo Bei, with stops from number 3419 down to 263.

Av. Rio das Pedras and Av. Cons. Carrão. It then joins Av. Rio das Pedras (stops from number 4117 to 175), continues along Av. Dezenove de Janeiro and Av. Cons. Carrão, where it stops from number 3355 to 327, and passes R. Antônio de Barros.

Hospitals and Av. Celso Garcia. Next comes a run of stops named after landmarks: Hospital Cristo Rei, Hosp. Munic. Tatuapé, Tuiuti and Henrique Sertório. The bus passes along Av. Celso Garcia (stop at number 3165) and continues through the Bombeiros, Hospital Leonor Mendes de Barros, Fábrica de Cultura Parque Belém, Catumbi, Marcos Arruda, Júlio Cesar da Silva, João Boemer, Rubino de Oliveira and Concórdia stops to the Gasômetro stop.

Loop through the centre. Outbound, the 2290-10 does not go straight to the terminal: it follows Av. Sen. Queiros, calls at the Rio Branco, São João, Timbiras and Vieira de Carvalho stops, runs along Av. S. Luís (number 192), Viad. Nove de Julho and R. Maria Paula and stops at Sé / Bombeiros. It finishes via R. Dr. Bittencourt Rodrigues, by Pça. Fernando Costa, at platform 06 of Terminal Parque Dom Pedro II.

Return. Towards Terminal São Mateus the route is more direct: the bus leaves Terminal Parque Dom Pedro II and serves the Vasco da Gama, Concórdia, INSS, Bresser, Júlio César da Silva, São Leopoldo, Martim Afonso, Hosp. Santa Virgínia, Bombeiros, Salim Farah Maluf, Tuiuti, Biblioteca, Hosp. Munic. do Tatuapé and Hospital Cristo Rei stops. It then takes R. Cesário Galero, Av. Cons. Carrão, Av. Dezenove de Janeiro, Av. Rio das Pedras and Av. Mateo Bei to platform C of Terminal São Mateus. There are 69 stops outbound and 54 on the return, since the return skips the loop through the centre.

Hours and frequency

According to the SPTrans reference timetable, the 2290-10 starts running from about 4:00 and the last departures are around midnight. The line runs every day, Monday to Sunday, with about 193 departures a day in that timetable.

In the morning peak, between 7:00 and 9:00, the shortest scheduled interval is 5 minutes. That is a high frequency: at peak times you do not need to memorise departure times.

SPTrans open data contain a single reference timetable per line, with intervals by time band, and only state which days the line runs. There is no separate Saturday or Sunday table, so weekends and holidays may have different times and intervals. Check Olho Vivo.

How long the trip takes

The full outbound trip, from Terminal São Mateus to Terminal Parque Dom Pedro II, has a scheduled time of 162 minutes for 25.8 km, roughly two hours and forty minutes. That time includes the loop through the centre (Av. Sen. Queiros, Av. S. Luís and R. Maria Paula) before the terminal. It is a reference time; at peak hours, allow extra time. Partial trips, such as São Mateus to Av. Cons. Carrão, are much shorter.

Main stops and connections

Both ends of the 2290-10 are SPTrans bus terminals: Terminal São Mateus and Terminal Parque Dom Pedro II, where you can change to other lines with the Bilhete Único card. Along the way, the most useful landmarks are the stops on Av. Mateo Bei, Av. Rio das Pedras and Av. Cons. Carrão, the run of stops named after hospitals (Hospital Cristo Rei, Hosp. Munic. Tatuapé, Hospital Leonor Mendes de Barros) and the central stops such as Rio Branco, São João and Sé / Bombeiros.

How to see where the bus is (Olho Vivo)

Fare and Bilhete Único

The basic fare on São Paulo city buses is R$ 5.30 (Brazilian reais), in force since 6 January 2026. With the Bilhete Único card you get a 3-hour integration window from your first tap to change buses without paying another basic fare, for example at the São Mateus or Parque Dom Pedro II terminals.

If your trip combines a bus with the Metrô or CPTM (the metropolitan rail network), the integration costs R$ 9.38 in total.

Tips for using the line

• Check the direction on the sign: the same code is shown with Terminal Parque Dom Pedro II or Terminal São Mateus as destination.
• Outbound, the line loops through the centre (Av. Sen. Queiros, Av. S. Luís, R. Maria Paula) before the terminal; on the return it leaves Parque Dom Pedro II straight towards Av. Cons. Carrão via the Vasco da Gama, Bresser and Salim Farah Maluf stops.
• When searching for the line on Olho Vivo or Google, use “2290-10” so it is not mixed up with other results for the number 2290.
• On weekends and holidays service may differ from the reference timetable; plan with some slack.
