The 2022 edition of Rock in Rio is approaching and it’s time to think about how they come and go from Rock City, huh? At the beginning of the month, the Municipality of Rio presented an operational and logistical plan for the period of the festival scheduled from 2 to 11 September.
This year there is a novelty for the displacement: the Rock Express. In short, it is a bus from the BRT fleet that will guarantee greater ease in public transport.
According to Ricardo Acto, vice president of options for the event, the Rock Express will integrate with the Jardim Oceanico metro and also with Alvorada all the way to the Olympic Terminal, where the City of Rock is located.
The shuttles depart every day of the event, always starting at 13:00, and will run every 10 minutes. For the return, the first bus runs at 10pm and the last car from the Rock Express at 5am. The return ticket costs R $ 22.00 and can be purchased directly through Entresse.

Among the options there is First class. The bus makes several stops throughout the city and its surroundings, allowing passengers to disembark inside the Olympic Park.
You can board from 17 locations, including Galeão Airport, Novo Rio Bus Station, NorteShopping, Copacabana, Petrópolis and Niterói. Check all boarding points here.
The passport costs R $ 125.00 and entitles you to a round trip. The amount can be paid in three installments. Remembering that tickets are limited and must be booked in advance on the official website.
