Bus companies, taxi services, and ride-hailing platforms are expanding fleets, scheduling additional trips, and coordinating routes to ensure smooth movement throughout the city.
Temporary parking zones and shuttle services are being organized near major parade routes and tourist hotspots to ease congestion, while traffic management plans are being fine-tuned in collaboration with local authorities. These measures aim to provide visitors with efficient, safe, and convenient travel options, allowing them to fully enjoy the vibrant celebrations without transport-related stress.
By preparing in advance, transport operators play a crucial role in supporting the success of Carnival 2025, ensuring that both residents and tourists can move seamlessly between events, accommodations, and entertainment hubs.
