सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि

Buses are the primary mode of long-distance travel. 'Rodoviárias' are often like airports, with shops and VIP lounges. The word 'ônibus' is never used; 'autocarro' is the only term. Public transport is highly integrated with trains (comboios). The term 'machimbombo' is a charming regionalism for bus, though 'autocarro' is also used in formal settings. Shared vans called 'hiaces' are more common than large buses for inter-city travel.

🎯

The 'A' Secret

If you want to sound more educated or formal, always add the 'A' at the beginning: 'A que horas...'

⚠️

Don't say 'Qual hora'

Even though English says 'What hour', Portuguese always uses 'Que horas' (plural).

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल

4 सवाल

Yes! Just say 'Que horas é o trem?'. It works for any scheduled event.

No. In Portugal it's 'autocarro', and in some African countries it's 'machimbombo'.

Because 'é' refers to the bus (singular), not the hours. You are asking 'At what time IS the bus'.

Say 'O ônibus já passou?'.
