From Vitória:
At the Rodoviária de Vitória-ES (Carlos Alberto V. Campos Bus Station), there are two options to get to Jerônimo Monteiro.
1 – Direct: Vitória – Jerônimo Monteiro
The PLANETA bus company offers two daily buses with a final destination of Guaçuí (a city in the south of the state) that pass through Jerônimo Monteiro-ES, with one departure in the morning (6:40) and another in the afternoon (16:40).
Tickets are available for purchase in person at the bus company’s counter at the station and also online at: https://www.clickbus.com.br/
2 – Indirect: Transfer at the Bus Station of the Municipality of Cachoeiro de Itapemirim – ES.
Several buses are available with destinations to the Bus Station of the municipality of Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, which is next to Jerônimo Monteiro, approximately 42 km away. Some of the available daily bus schedules to Cachoeiro can be checked on the clickbus website (https://www.clickbus.com.br/).
Tickets for the CACHOEIRO DO ITAPEMIRIM bus station are also available for purchase in person at the bus company’s counter at the station and also online at: https://www.clickbus.com.br/
In CACHOEIRO DE ITAPEMIRIM:
Upon arrival at the bus station, it will be necessary to purchase a new ticket at the PLANETA bus company’s counter, this time with a destination of Jerônimo Monteiro. The final stretch to the municipality is done on a bus from the REAL bus company.
Important Information:
It is important to note that this last bus is a regular service and the final destination is not Jerônimo Monteiro, so it is necessary to pay attention to disembark.
The Cachoeiro do Itapemirim bus station counter only accepts cash as a form of payment for the ticket.
The REAL bus company, responsible for the route, offers an app called “Vale Fácil” for ticket payments, which is available for Android and IOS. Simply create an account and top it up through payment via PIX and show the QR code available in the app to the collector.
However, be aware of the operation of the app when purchasing tickets from the Cachoeiro do Itapemirim bus station, where it will be necessary to buy in cash at the counter.
