If heading to the centre after you land, you can choose between several means of transportation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Bus\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>There are <strong>no direct bus lines from the airport to the Rio de Janeiro city centre<\/strong>. However, if you walk to the station <strong>Condom\u00ednio do Edif\u00edcio<\/strong> you can take <strong>bus line 342<\/strong> that can take you to <strong>Sete de Setembre<\/strong> which is situated close to the centre. For the bus, you use the <strong>Carioca card<\/strong> that you can buy at the airport.<\/p>\n<h3>Tram<\/h3>\n<p>Rio de Janeiro uses a light rail system that can take you to the centre. The airport terminal station is just outside the Arrivals Hall if you turn left. You can take <strong>line 1 (yellow)<\/strong> or <strong>line 3 (blue)<\/strong> to reach <strong>Sete de Setembro<\/strong>, and walk a bit to reach the centre. The <strong>VLT line 2 (green)<\/strong> can take you from the airport to the <strong>Novo Rio bus station<\/strong>. To board, you need a <strong>Carioca ticket<\/strong> that you can buy at the airport, and you could also use it for the subway. The <strong>VLT system<\/strong> works from 6:00 am til midnight, every day. A <strong>VLT ticket<\/strong> costs R $3,80 and a Metro ticket costs R $4,10.<\/p>\n<h3>Taxi\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>There are regular black and white taxis and special taxis available at the airport. Both are situated outside the arrival hall. The <strong>prices are listed on the airport door<\/strong> and the trip to the city center will cost you approx. R $40-50.<\/p>\n<h3>Transfer<\/h3>\n<p>Booking a private transfer from the airport to the cities is a good option. <a href=\"https:\/\/getbytransfer.com\/\">Pre-booking a transfer <\/a>ensures that a professional driver will welcome you upon arrival and take you <strong>directly to your accommodation<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Car hire<\/h3>\n<p>Car rental is available at the airport. Several major companies \u2013 such as <strong>Alamo, Hertz and Localiza <\/strong>\u2013 offer their services. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/buscroatia.carrentalnet.com\">renting a car online<\/a> is a good idea for avoiding long queues.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Santos_Dumont_Airport_airlines\"><\/span>Santos Dumont Airport airlines<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Arrivals and departures from Santos Dumont Airport are domestic and a few international flights.
