Curitiba

Brazil is so amazingly large that it is difficult to travel the country without stopping here and there, catching breath. I was on my way to Uruguay and the choice of stop fell on Curitiba.

I read about Curitiba long ago as it is famous for its bus rapid transport system with buses on segregated lanes. It has been the model city of many other places around the world, including Quito, Ecuador and Bogotá, Colombia.

Apart from this, there was not much that I really wanted to see. Actually, there was not much else to see at all. But it doesn't matter. I can only conclude that the bus rapid transit stations look funny. Large dark-coloured cylinders. It's like something taken from a Batman-movie.
