the government rob the people........Do you not think that prices should be set at the price of the average wage/I have also noticed that even the bus tickets have risen rapidly.What real chances do you think Brasilians will have of travelling by air in the near future?

You are right Dotty, majority of Brasilians cannot travel long distances or travel in general, becuase they simply dont have the money to do it. A flight from Sao Paulo to Rio de Janeiro ( return), and only takes 40 minutes flying time, costs more than the legal minimum monthly salary in Brasil. Just saw today, cheapest i could see was Rs 517.00 SP - Rio (return). In comparison, I could fly nextweek from SP to Madrid ( return ) for Rs. 1380.00.
Now you can see how expensive flying in Brasil is for the regular Joe.
