These Brazilian ground passenger transportation companies are primarily long-distance and intercity bus operators, with some urban transit providers. Most are established firms, founded between the 1930s and 1980s.
Companies like Auto Viação 1001 Ltda and Guanabara focus on extensive bus networks, while Metrô Rio manages urban rail. Viação Cometa S.A. and Saritur also operate intercity routes, with Saritur additionally handling freight. A notable pattern is the concentration of headquarters in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.

How this list is built
Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 13, 2026.
