Abstract

The interstate road transport of passengers is an economic activity that clarifies the territorial division of labor, it illustrates part of displacement throughout the country and therefore the joints between different centers. With the advancement of Brazilian urbanization and the expansion of the passengers demand the road passenger transport follows these processes, as it exerts a central social function by making diverse connections between distinct points in the national territory and ultimately reflects the dynamics of the urban network and the spatial interactions occurring in it. In view of such prerogatives, the municipality of Londrina, located in the northern part of the Paraná state, functions as a node of the interstate road transport of passengers, because it is the second most populous city in the state of Paraná. There are dozens of interstate lines that reach states in the North, Central-West, Southeast and South macro-regions, with greater participation of the latter two.
