These are comfortable, air-conditioned and expensive buses which will take you to several parts of town. Get out of the terminal and follow the signs indicating “buses”. They are semi-hidden between the terminals. The tickets cabin is inside a room. Check timetables here. The price is R$ 31,00 per person. After you buy your ticket, go outside to get on the bus. Check carefully if the bus you want to take is parked outside; it may not have arrived yet or you may board the wrong bus. Indications are not clear.
This is the bus you'll see... check its destination before boarding!!

Among the lines offered to you, one is the ‘hotel circuit’, which serves some selected hotels. You might be lucky…
Otherwise you may be advised to take the buses that go to Barra Funda or Republica, as these are subway stations, but please read below:
Barra Funda is not only a subway station, but a train station and bus terminal, which could be helpful for you to go somewhere in town. But bear in mind that you get off the bus somewhere outside the complex and to get in you have to face lots of awkward and confusing stairs, completely inappropriate for someone carrying heavy bags. Only head to Barra Funda if you are packing light.
República, another final stop, is home to a subway station of the same name, which could come in handy for you. But I must say it’s not really advisable if you arrive late at night. Also, subway stations close at midnight. Other than that, I must also say that subway stations may not have escalators in every station, the trains have no reserved spaces for luggage, and are packed in the rush hours. As a final (but extremely important) warning, DO NOT take the subway if you need to change lines, with luggage and all, at the Sé Station. Believe me, it’s simply impracticable.
