Brasilia – Intercity semi-urban transport companies will have 15 days, counted from the notification by the Superintendence of Passenger Transport Services (Supas), to adapt to the standard of information on itineraries, established today (31) in a resolution published by the National Land Transport Agency (ANTT) in the Official Gazette of the Union.
According to the resolution, companies will have to display, on signs located on the front of the vehicle, the route identification code - a number established by ANTT, consisting of up to five digits - the origin and destination of the route, and supplementary operational information.
The new rules reinforce rights already established in some specific laws. Among them is the right to receive information from the carrier about schedules, travel time, locations served, ticket prices, and other details.
Intercity semi-urban road passenger transport is, by definition, that which has a maximum route of 75 kilometers, with characteristics of urban transport but crossing the borders of a single state.
