Getting around Rio

Your feet will get you to the bakery. For the beach at Copacabana or the town centre, you'll want the bus or the metro:

Portuguese English
o ônibus the bus (same in the plural: os ônibus)
o metrô the metro
a estação the station
o ponto (de ônibus) the bus stop
o carro the car
a bicicleta the bike
o cartão the card

Say it right: ônibus is stressed on the first syllable — “OH-nee-boos” — and metrô on the last.
