the buses display the sign 'niterói/charitas' and are operated by the two companies auto viação 1001 and braso lisboa -  both lines follow an identical route and detailed bus itineraries for the two bus lines can be seen here and here. 

to get to rua alameda marechal pessoa leal, jurujuba, the road that leads to the entrance of the fort, travelers can exit at the end of the line of bus 7003, and continue via bus line 33.

if relying on taxis, it is important to set up a return trip in advance, as it could be difficult to find a taxi at or near the fort.
