One of the most traditional bus companies in Brazil and Latin America, which has always operated its routes with traditional buses with rear engine with super powerful engines, with more than 300 horsepower, surrendered to modernity and to meet the charter contract of the factory. VolksWagen acquired models with a lower power front engine.
They are simpler buses, but well configured, with road bus seats, air conditioning system, USB sockets, wi-fi system, toilet.
On the day of the recording, the bus that appears in the video was scheduled to operate a road line at the service of Auto Viação CATARINENSE , a company belonging to the same group as Viação COMETA , the JCA group. The problem is that the luggage compartment in this model of bus does not attend the passengers' baggage flow. Watch the video and understand all the details of this bus.

About the Road COMETA :
*Viação COMETA S.A. is an intercity bus company in Brazil. For decades, it operated lines in the southeast region of Brazil, based on a North American model, taking its inspiration from the company Greyhound Lines. The buses were built on Duralumin bodies, the uniform was similar to that of the Air Force (with little difference in colors) and operated radio communication systems between its bases and support points at a time when communications were complicated and still in their infancy in Brazil . It is one of the pioneers in interconnections in the Southeast region, and one of the oldest in the connection between the Southeast (more specifically São Paulo) with the first state in the south of the country (Paraná).
Its lines are based from São Paulo to the interior and coast of the same state, in addition to interstate lines to Paraná, as mentioned above, Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais. The more traditional line, São Paulo-Rio de Janeiro, operated since 1951, was transferred in 2002 to Expresso do Sul, a semi-affiliated company of the new controlling group of COMETA : Grupo JCA. The acquisition began in December 2001 and cost 155 million reais, in addition to changes in the lines, resulted in a total change in the company's image, which were modified from the company's administrative offices, visual programming including the entire fleet, printed materials and uniforms , even the logo, which now has new, more vivid colors, a new spelling of the name COMETA and the photo of COMETA Hale Bopp. The group did not buy the bodywork factory that belonged to the former controller of the company, CMA (Cia. Manufatureira Auxiliar), whose production was discontinued in 2002.
