BRT Salvador wins national urban mobility award

The BRT Salvador system has received the 2026 Plínio Assmann Award for Best Practices in Urban Mobility. Awarded by the National Association of Public Transport (ANTP), the initiative won in the Motorized Mobility category, which evaluates infrastructure, operation, technology, and public transport efficiency.

The award recognition was based on the system's ability to reduce passenger travel times, providing faster and more efficient collective transport in the capital of Bahia.
