The Tietê Bus Terminal, located in São Paulo, has implemented an area dedicated exclusively to passengers arriving by bus who use the Uber service to continue their journey. This new pickup point is located on Floor G2 of the Garage Building.
To ensure ease of use, the terminal has been equipped with specific signage that guides users from the arrival platforms to the designated meeting spot for Uber. Passengers must follow the 'Uber' directional signs after disembarking from the bus and proceed to the Garage Building.
In this space, drivers must wait for the passenger at the indicated point after the request is made via the application. It is important to note that this area is solely for pickup and does not operate as a regular parking lot. Access is regulated by a gate, requiring the professional to retrieve a printed ticket.
Free stay is granted for a period of up to fifteen minutes; if the time is exceeded, a fee of R$ 27 will be charged for using the parking lot.
Partnerships and Management
This new operation is the result of a collaboration between Uber and INDIGO, which manages the Garage Building. INDIGO also provides personnel on site to assist and guide drivers. Additionally, the new Uber Space integrates a partnership between the platform and Socicam, responsible for the administration of the Tietê bus terminals and other bus stations spread across ten Brazilian states.
Similar models have been operational at the Rio de Janeiro Bus Station since 2024, where the space is located on floor G1 of the parking lot and serves passenger pickup. In Salvador, a similar concept area was inaugurated in July of this year, although the Bahian space is not restricted to Uber, also receiving passengers from other applications, such as 99.
