The population of rural areas is retracting, making urban population continually grow. Taking advantage of the increased demand, speculators seek to maximize gains increasing the rent value of the property. The most widespread pursuit for attractive rents creates geographic differences in proportion to the intensity of investments, often ensuring that regions with an abundance of capital become richer while the poor become relatively poorer (Harvey, 2004). Especially in the city of Rio de Janeiro, where the economic and financial area is concentrated, this unfortunate population that increasingly is being removed from the center and the South Zone, is subject to long commutes to work. Combined with the problem of increasing distances, the public transit is inadequate, stingy and without quality, both in terms of comfort, and in relation to security, exposing its users extremely long terms, exhausting and dangerous journeys. Given these conditions, the least unfortunate opt for private transport, increasing traffic, reducing the average speed, while reducing the rationale and the financial viability of the public transit system - and thus also potentially reducing the mobility of those who depend this system (Massey, 1991). In other words, the time-space expansion pushes the neediest population away from opportunities, from the possibility of studying, and ultimately restricts social mobility. The public transit is the most rational and efficient way to move people from long and medium distances in medium and large urban centers. Even if the public transportation by bus (SPPO in Portuguese) is fed at the ends by other modals, whether they are not motorized or automobiles, it should be fast, reliable, safe, inexpensive and minimally comfortable, and these characteristics should be intensified the greater is the volume of use. Public transport suffers from acute and chronic shortages in Brazilian cities in general. The inefficiency of bus services and the inadequacy of rail transport have a severe impact on the so-called Brazilian Cost.
