ClickBus, the largest bus ticket sales app in Brazil, expects to surpass the 1 million ticket sales mark for Carnival 2025, a 30% increase compared to the previous year, and is launching a special promotion for trips between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.
With Carnival approaching, the company announced special discounts for those wishing to enjoy one of the world's biggest Carnival celebrations in Rio de Janeiro. Passengers departing from São Paulo can secure tickets with a 15% discount on purchases made through the ClickBus app and 12% on the website. The promotion is valid for departures until March 9th, with the possibility of an extended return until March 31st.
“Our goal is to make bus travel increasingly accessible and practical for Brazilians. We know that ticket prices tend to rise during Carnival due to high demand. Therefore, we want to offer travelers a more economical alternative and encourage the use of our app, where we guarantee flexibility, safety and greater discounts,” says Elbert Leonardo, Commercial Vice President of ClickBus.
The company issued 792,000 tickets during the 2024 Carnival and projects a significant increase for 2025. This growth reflects the trend of increased activity at Brazilian bus stations during holidays and the consolidation of road transport as an affordable option for domestic travel.
Rio de Janeiro, the highlight of the promotion, is worldwide known for its carnival festivities, which attract millions of revelers annually. The city offers a variety of 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 schedule, the Marvelous City offers unmissable tourist attractions such as the beaches of Copacabana, Ipanema, and Leblon, ideal for relaxing moments between festivities. Iconic landmarks such as Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, and the Lapa neighborhood complete the tourist itinerary for those seeking to see Brazil's main postcards.
The ClickBus promotion comes at a good time for those who are already planning next year's festivities and are looking to save money on their trip to the country's main carnival destination.
