From Western São Paulo to the Whole Country
The story of Smith & Lemes began over 70 years ago, with the founding of Viação Andorinha by José Lemes Soares — honored today by the naming of the main bus terminal in Presidente Prudente: Terminal Rodoviário José Lemes Soares. What started as a regional bus line became one of Brazil’s largest transport companies. Today, this legacy of excellence lives on in executive transportation, through the same family, with Smith & Lemes.
