The bus is going "to" São Paulo (it's bound for São Paulo) or That bus goes to São Paulo, maybe it is not going right now but it will go on its scheduled time.

Note that it is "bound" not "bounded" because "bound for" works as an adjective.

It's bound for São Paulo.

towards = in the direction of

With regard to; in relation to = an optimistic attitude toward the future.

By way of achieving; with a view to: efforts toward peace
