An efficient public transport system that meets the needs of citizens is proving to be increasingly essential to ensure adequate mobility in cities. Despite numerous benefits to cities, this system is involved in countless challenges, which often exceed the scope of public transport and end up being present in other structures and elements of the city. If the challenges of public transport at the municipal level are many, the challenges of systems located in metropolitan regions are even greater, demanding a process that integrates and articulates public policies and decisions. In this context, themes of governance and public management gain a relevant role, as they are imperative to allow coordinated, articulated and integrated processes to lead to the solution of several problems related to public transport. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate and analyze the relationship between interfederative governance and public transport in the Brazilian context, seeking to understand how governance impacts the quality of public transport, as well as suggesting elements that contribute to coping with problems and to improving quality of this service. As a methodology, exploratory, applied and bibliographic research are adopted. The results made it possible to understand that solutions for the improvement of public transport include integrated and articulated measures and actions that go beyond the scope of this system, as well as the essential role of interfederative governance to obtain a service that meets the needs of citizens.
