Line 1.96 – Terminal Ouro Verde

R$ 4,95 gets you from VCP to Campinas on Line 1.96

Line 1.96 – Terminal Ouro Verde is a city bus linking Viracopos International Airport (T1) to the Ouro Verde terminal in Campinas for R$ 4,95. The ride runs on public streets, so it feels like a regular urban route, not an airport shuttle. You pay standard city fare, not a premium airport price.

Typical journey time sits around 30–40 minutes between Viracopos and Terminal Ouro Verde. Traffic on the main approach roads into Campinas can stretch that toward the higher end in peak hours, so don’t cut it close before a flight. Build at least a 1-hour buffer on top of that ride time if you’re heading back to T1 for check-in and security.

The bus serves Viracopos Airport’s T1, so you board and get off at the same passenger terminal where all flights operate. This keeps transfers simple: one terminal, one stop. Once you reach Terminal Ouro Verde at the Campinas end, you’re dropped inside a local bus hub, with other city lines fanning out from that point.

Fare collection is straightforward: R$ 4,95 per person, paid like any other Campinas city bus. Bring small bills or a transit card that works in the EMTU/municipal system so you’re not stuck trying to break large notes at the driver’s booth. There’s no integrated airport surcharge buried in the price.

Line 1.96 is a standard city bus, not an executive coach, so expect basic seating and limited luggage space. If you’re carrying big checked-size bags, be ready to keep them at your feet or in the aisle during the 30–40 minute ride. This is fine for a backpack or a carry-on, less fun with two giant suitcases.

One practical tip: grab a printed or saved schedule for Line 1.96 at T1 information desks or online before you leave, then plan around the last bus of the night so you’re not stuck with an unexpected taxi fare back into Campinas.
