The PUC entrance

I have to be honest, I have not explored PUC's campus. Apparently there is a satellite campus as well. Nevertheless, the images below are from the one of the two entrances. I use this entrance the most because the bus I usually take, #410, stops right in front of the university. PUC happens to be a rest stop for the bus drivers and cobradores. You will usually see them doing some light stretching, by standing and walking before they head back to Rio de Janeiro's Centro. I can see why they take a break. The drive back to the city's Centro is relatively long. What makes the trip long is the constant stopping. Once it reaches the Centro, the bus driveres stop for another break.

If you're out on the street and are waiting for a bus, even if you're standing at a marked bus stop, you have to flag down the bus. If you don't, the bus will not stop. There are many bus routes that will help you reach your destination but you must be aware and quick. Nevertheless, wait time is not bad. What is bad is the city's traffic, it is always congested no matter what time of the day. So make sure you time-in possible traffic delays when planing your day's activities.

If you're in need  of a snack, there are many stands outside PUC's bus entrance.
I love this lady's sign:
