ClickBus, Brazil’s largest bus ticket sales app, expects to surpass the mark of 1 million tickets sold for Carnival 2025, a 30% growth compared to the previous year, and launches a special promotion for trips between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.
With Carnival approaching, the company announced special discounts for those who want to enjoy one of the world’s largest Carnival celebrations in Rio de Janeiro. Passengers departing from São Paulo can secure tickets with a 15% discount for purchases made through the ClickBus app and 12% on the website. The promotion is valid for departures until March 9, with the possibility of extended returns until March 31.
“Our goal is to make bus travel increasingly accessible and practical for Brazilians. We know that during Carnival, ticket prices usually rise due to high demand. That’s why we want to offer travelers a more economical alternative and encourage the use of our app, where we guarantee flexibility, security, and greater discounts,” says Elbert Leonardo, Commercial Vice President of ClickBus.
The company recorded 792 thousand tickets issued during Carnival 2024 and projects a significant increase for 2025. This growth reflects the trend of increased movement in Brazilian bus stations during holidays and the consolidation of road transportation as an affordable option for national travel.
Rio de Janeiro, the highlight of the promotion, is globally recognized for its Carnival festivities, which attract millions of revelers annually. The city offers diverse experiences, from the grand parades at Marquês de Sapucaí to popular street blocks like Cordão da Bola Preta, Bloco da Favorita, and Monobloco.
In addition to the Carnival programming, the Marvelous City boasts unmissable tourist attractions such as Copacabana, Ipanema, and Leblon beaches, ideal for moments of relaxation between festivities. Iconic landmarks like Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, and the Lapa neighborhood complete the tourist itinerary for those looking to explore Brazil’s main postcard sights.
ClickBus’s promotion comes at the right time for those already planning next year’s festivities and looking to save on travel to the country’s main Carnival destination.
