I live in a small town and I love to travel. Brazil is big territorially and it is hard to travel there, due the big distances, tickets are very expensive.
People travel by fly or by car, unfortunettly there are few passenger train lines. We travel by bus too, but takes a long time. For exemple, one trip from Rio to Salvador by bus takes around 29 hours. If you travel by fly, it takes only 2 hours. There was a time when fly tickets abroad were cheaper than tickets to travel for some cities within Brazil.
