With the arrival of the Good Friday holiday, it is important to be aware of changes in the operation of various services and roads in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Check out the main information below to plan your day:
Bank and Post Office Agencies: All bank branches will be closed during the holiday, as will post offices, which will only resume their activities on Monday.
Public transportation: The subway will start operating at 7am, while the ferries that cross between Rio and Niterói will run at one-hour intervals. It is worth noting that the Charitas route will not be available to the public.
Traffic: With the expectation of more than four hundred thousand vehicles traveling over the Rio-Niterói Bridge, it is essential to be prepared for possible congestion. The tendency is for traffic to become more complicated, especially towards the Lakes Region.
Vehicle Inspection: Before hitting the road, don’t forget to carry out a complete inspection of your vehicle. Check tires, brakes, oil and other safety items to ensure a smooth trip and avoid unforeseen events along the way.
Health: Hospitals and emergency care units (UPAs) operate normally during the holiday. Outpatient care in the units will follow the schedules already defined for each patient.
With this information in mind, you will be able to enjoy your holiday with greater peace of mind and security. Always remember to plan your route in advance and pay attention to traffic conditions.
