सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि

In many Brazilian cities, you must signal (wave your hand) for the bus to stop at the 'ponto'. If you just stand there, the driver might pass you by. The word 'ônibus' is virtually unknown in Portugal; you must use 'autocarro'. Using 'pegar' for transport in Lisbon might sound like you are going to physically lift the vehicle. The 'busão' is a place of intense social interaction. It is common to see people selling snacks or even giving impromptu speeches/performances.
