TRANSPORTATION

IUFRO2019 will provide three bus lines for event participants.

Please pay careful attention to the instructions and familiarize yourself with the routes and stops on the map below:

• All buses will be identified with the Congress name/logo
• You need to show your event nametag to ride
• There will be a staff member at all stops to assist riders in embarking and to control the flow of buses

Stops:

• Stops on each line are shown on the map
• Buses will not stop at the hotels, but rather at the stops shown on the map. These stops were planned so that all participants staying at 72 hotels in Curitiba will not need to walk more than 300–400 meters to reach a bus stop.

NOTE: Green and Yellow lines will operate as shown below starting at 1:00 p.m. (13:00) on September 29.

Yellow and Green lines
– Buses will run from 7:00 a.m. (starting point) until 8:45 a.m.
– Frequency: 25 buses will run intermittently, depending on demand
– It will take an estimated 1 hour to reach ExpoUnimed, from the starting point of each bus line
   PLEASE NOTE: Traffic in the downtown area of Curitiba may case minor delays
– The Yellow and Green lines will stop running at 9:00 a.m. After that time, a new circular line will provide service between the city and ExpoUnimed.

Circular Route: runs from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (16:00) in a counter-clockwise direction
Between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. (16:00) this line will run continuously. This bus runs counter-clockwise and has different stops than the Green and Yellow lines, as shown on the map.

 Return buses
As with the morning, bus service back to the hotels will be adjusted to demand. Starting at 6:00 p.m. (18:00), the Green and Yellow line buses will depart for the central area of Curitiba, following the same (or very similar) routes as those used in the morning.

NOTE: Green and Yellow lines will operate starting at 1:00 p.m. (13:00) on September 29.

The buses for the field trips will have different routes and schedules according to the destination. Routes and schedules for each bus will be published on Tuesday, October 2 on the Congress webpage, on the Congress app, and will be posted in all of the wings of the ExpoUnimed event center.

Additional tips:

• Look for the staff transport coordinator at the bus stop closest to your hotel if you need help.
• Suggestion: To know when to catch the bus, look on Google Maps, Waze, or another navigation app to see how long it will take by car for you to reach ExpoUnimed from where you are. Allow yourself an extra 15 minutes (just to be safe) and you’ll get to the event on time.
• Choose the route that best suits you in terms of distance to your lodging and trip time. It may make sense to walk an additional two or three blocks to avoid traffic delays.
