The Gentileza Intermodal Terminal (Portuguese: Terminal Intermodal Gentileza, (TIG)) is a transport terminal in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, connecting the BRT — TransBrasil — 22 municipal bus lines and lines 1 and 4 of the VLT Carioca. It is located in the old São Cristóvão gasometer, on Avenida Francisco Bicalho, in São Cristóvão.
The name is a tribute to José Datrino, better known as prophet Gentileza — a religious preacher who became known for the phrase "Gentileza gera gentileza" ("Kindness begets kindness"), the most famous among several other phrases he wrote on the pillars of the Elevado da Perimetral and on the Gasômetro viaduct itself.
The terminal's inauguration took place on 23 February 2024, and its operations began the following day, with five bus lines, two BRT lines and one VLT line.
