Limited stop services are particularly important in major US and Brazilian cities with extensive public transportation networks. In New York City, limited stop buses are marked differently and serve commuters seeking faster travel times. In Brazilian cities like São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, these services help manage high passenger volumes during peak hours and are integrated into the broader public transit strategy.
