Platforms: how to find your bus
The stop names in the SPTrans data point to two sections. Most lines use stops called “Terminal V. Prudente Central” (one of them appears as “Terminal V. Prudente Central, 0”). Lines 4029-10 (São Mateus), 4284-10 (Vl. Califórnia) and 4286-10 (Vl. Industrial) use the “Terminal V. Prudente – Sul” section, and 4288-10 appears at “Terminal V. Prudente – Sul – Plat. 6” as well as in the Central section.
One important exception: 3160-10, to Term. Pq. D. Pedro II, uses a separately listed stop, “Terminal V. Prudente, 216”. The map on this page shows that it sits a little apart from the others.
So before boarding, check the exact stop name for your line in the table on this page, then confirm it on the sign at the terminal. The signage on site is always the final reference.
