The phrase comes from Carlos Tramontina, the longtime presenter of SPTV on TV Globo in São Paulo, where short links about the time and city transport were part of the daily broadcast. Shared as meme 6 e onibus on Brazilian social media and messaging apps, the isolated line lost its original news context and became a reusable joke. Its humor survives because Brazilian audiences recognise the formal journalistic tone instantly, so the clip still works for traffic, commuting, and everyday delays long after the broadcast.

Carlos Tramontina saying seis e ônibus in his São Paulo newscast tone, now used as a Brazilian meme sound for buses, traffic and random punchlines.
This is journalist Carlos Tramontina delivering the short phrase seis e ônibus in a serious, matter of fact newscast voice. The clip is just over a second long, with clean studio audio and no music or effects behind the speech. Out of context the line sounds oddly specific and deadpan, which is exactly why it lands as a joke. The contrast between the formal delivery and the mundane mention of a bus makes any ordinary scene feel like an urgent news bulletin, and viewers instantly hear it as an absurd, quotable punchline.
