Resumen
This paper focuses public bus service as an essential component to urban dynamics
in Natal, RN. Thereby, the approach of public bus service in Natal City, capital of Rio
Grande do Norte State, has as analytical category the concept of territory used, in
which techniques are seen as space elements allowing man and nature interact
together. The result of this interaction, systematically analyzed in different historical
phases, makes space to a geographical assessment of the theme. On a second
moment, it is investigated how public bus system came to be and how it functions
today in Natal City. In this sense, this paper looks for the main elements that
contributed to explain the subject under investigation. For example, how public bus
service has accompanied Natal s socio-spatial changes, and eventually, the use of
territory carried out in the context of public bus system. These questions are
highlighted in this paper because they play a fundamental role to an explanation
about public bus circulation, urban vehicle policies and how they affect the use of
territory nowadays.
