Viação Penha Curitiba Rio de Janeiro recent customer reviews
The bus ride was fine. I was surprised by how well the roads were this trip. It has not been very smooth in the past. Plan on arrival being delayed a bit. Traffic coming into Rio was a mess. A lot of cars and semis. The two places we stopped for breakfast and then lunch were wonderful. I would do this trip again in a heartbeat.
5 out of 5 stars

The bus had to be replaced in the night due to some malfunction and the new bus did not have the same leg space as earlier. I felt cramped. According to old reviews, this sort of incident has happened in the past too. I would be 50/50 about this bus service for the future.

Bus was 90 mins late, meant boarding at 3:30am instead of 2am, multiple pointless stops along the way, arrived to Rio 2 hours later than scheduled, not even an apology
