Answer 1

I Should this trip !!

- The road is good, security and private.

- The bus company Viação 1001, is good too, with conditionned air.

- The bus driver use metal hand detect to verify guns in Rio de Janeiro Bus Station.

- The bus no stop during the trip.

- The 101 Route have 5 point police verify until Buzios. In genneral, the bus no stop, because they have a secret code for danger (driver and police).

- I Should total care in Rio de Janeiro Bus Station, the region is not security, in special for foreigners.

- Arrive in station by taxi or special bus from Galeão Airport.
