The growth of Brazilian cities in the last years has led to the proliferation of overlapping lines, causing increased costs of the system and decrease of the service levels offered to the users. With the purpose of finding solutions for these problems, several cities have opted for the implantation of transport integrated systems. However, there is a crucial issue that must be analyzed: is the implantation of this kind of system aiming to significant improvement for the users, actually economically viable and well assessed by the population? The purpose of the current study is to analyze qualitatively and quantitatively the impacts to the users of a public transport integrated system by bus, through a study carried out in the Estação Venda Nova (Venda Nova Station), Belo Horizonte, MG. To this end, interviews with the users of the mentioned station were carried out, and scenarios were developed to allow comparisons between the services offer data, as well as concerning the costs necessary for the transport system operation presented in each. Through the results obtained from the interviews, it was realized that the most important variable for the user's choice of the type of transport system was: the need or not to hold a second transfer, in addition to that imposed by the integrated system, in order to reach the final destination. However, through the users assessment, even when it requires two commutes on the move, this system meets or is better than the conventional one. From the results obtained in the quantitative analysis, it was found that the integrated system has generated benefits to the users, such as: improved accessibility and reduced costs and travel times, which were perceived by the users and confirmed by the acceptance demonstrated in the public opinion research held. Thus, it can be said that even with the imposition of commutes in the Venda Nova transport integrated system, the benefits provided tend to excel the disorders imposed by this kind of system
