In several regions, tourist attractions and parks offered free entry to individuals who presented official voting proof. In Balneário Camboriú, the Oceanic Group initiative included the Oceanic Aquarium, Parque Aventura Jurássica, and Space Adventure. In São Paulo, the campaign covered the São Paulo Zoo, Simba Safari, and the Botanical Garden, with certain packages offering a free second ticket for the voter. Simultaneously, municipal governments provided free public transportation to facilitate voter mobility. In Votuporanga, local government and Electoral Justice coordinated free transport for both voting rounds. As the second round between Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) approached, the scope of these initiatives expanded. In Rio Grande do Sul, the Department of Autonomous Roads (DAER) regulated free long-distance intercity transportation between October 24 and October 26. In Pernambuco, the Department of Highways (DER-PE) announced the temporary suspension of electronic speed cameras on the BR-232 highway, and Governor Raquel Lyra announced free intermunicipal bus transportation, though controversy arose regarding the company Progresso restricting free passage to trips under 75 kilometers. In the Baixada Santista region, municipal buses, intercity buses, and the Light Rail Vehicle (VLT) will be free across nine cities, though ferry crossings will continue to charge standard fares. On October 25, the second round saw widespread implementation of free transit. In Campo Grande, urban collective transport was free.
