Bauru has a local transport system that is served by buses. In addition to the buses, there are taxis and moto-taxis (taxi-motorcycle).

Long-distance passenger transport

As is common in large parts of Brazil, long-distance passenger transport is not handled by rail, but by buses. In Bauru, as in most Brazilian cities of this size, there is a bus station ( port. Terminal rodoviário ), which replaces the train station and offers overland connections. A non-stop connection from Bauru to São Paulo usually takes four and a half hours. There are also connections where smaller cities are served on the way, which increases the travel time.

Although Bauru is relatively small, the city has two airports. Aeroporto de Bauru Airport ( IATA : BAU, ICAO : SBBU) is right in the city. The second airport, Aeroporto de Bauru-Arealva ( IATA : JTC, ICAO : SJTC) is located north of the city.
