Platforms: how to find your bus

Unlike other terminals, the SPTrans data gives Vila Nova Cachoeirinha’s boarding points no platform number or letter. They all appear under the same name, “Terminal Vila Nova Cachoeirinha”, and the map on this page shows where each stop sits inside the terminal.

So the best way to find your bus is to:

• note the line code (for example 978A-10 or 9501-10) from the table on this page;
• check on the map where the terminal’s stops are;
• on arrival, look for the sign with the line’s code and destination.

Remember that destination signs show the terminal as “Term. Cachoeirinha”. When two lines have similar destinations, such as 9032-10 and 9032-21, both serving Jd. Damasceno, check the full code before boarding.

Lines that run early and late

No line at the terminal is listed with 24-hour service in the SPTrans reference timetable. Almost all regular lines start in the 4 am band.
