Divided and paved
avenues and numerous
traffic lights facilitate city
traffic, but the growth in vehicle numbers over the past decade has led to increasingly slow traffic, especially in the municipal seat. Additionally, finding parking spaces in the commercial center has become challenging, causing some losses to
commerce. Public transportation in Ourinhos is currently operated by Auto Viação Ourinhos Assis (Avoa), which has been responsible for the service since 1978. There are 22 urban lines available, with a fare of R$2.50, and discounts for students and people aged 60 to 65. == Economy ==
