Fleet of regular and articulated buses operating the BRT Transoeste corridor at the [Terminal Alvorada](/source/Terminal_Alvorada), [Barra da Tijuca](/source/Barra_da_Tijuca).

**Transoeste** is a [bus rapid transit](/source/Bus_rapid_transit) (BRT) line stretching from [Barra da Tijuca](/source/Barra_da_Tijuca) to [Santa Cruz](/source/Santa_Cruz%2C_Rio_de_Janeiro), with a branch to [Campo Grande](/source/Campo_Grande%2C_Rio_de_Janeiro). TransOeste was the first line to open in the [Rio de Janeiro BRT system](/source/BRT_(Rio_de_Janeiro)). The corridor was a transformation of the Avenida das Américas to expand the carriageways for exclusive use of high capacity buses, the BRT (Bus Rapid Transit), with transfer stations in the median, and also included the construction of the Grota Funda Tunnel. The Transoeste corridor was inaugurated on June 6, 2012.[1][2]

In 2016, the corridor began connecting the [Alvorada Terminal](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alvorada_Terminal&action=edit&redlink=1) [[pt](https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alvorada_Terminal)] to the [Jardim Oceânico station](/source/Jardim_Oce%C3%A2nico_Station) on [Line 4 of the Rio Metro](/source/Line_4_(Rio_de_Janeiro)) upon that metro station's opening.
