A bus fleet, recently acquired by Acreana Trans Acreana, is still stopped at a courtyard near Tietê bus station in São Paulo. The vehicles, all in the bed and two floors, were bought between the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025 with the objective of modernizing passenger transport in Acre. However, the precariousness of federal highways that cut the state has prevented them from being placed in operation.

Businessman Fernando Lourenço, owner of Transreana, states that the current conditions of BR-364 and BR-317 make the use of buses, which require better infrastructure to safely traffic. Given the situation, he admits that he can sell the vehicles and resume the use of old models, best suited to the scenario of the acre roads. “If nothing changes, I’ll have to back down,” he says.
Buses were not even taken to Acre for survey of AGEAC (State Regulatory Agency), which symbolizes the impasse faced by those who try to invest in improvements in regional transport. The case opens the contradiction between the effort of the private sector by innovation and the stagnation of public infrastructure, which ends up crashing development and wasting millionaire investments.
