Is the word trajeto the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The meaning, spelling, and grammar of "trajeto" are identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference is the pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, vowels are typically more open and clearly articulated. In Continental Portuguese, unstressed vowels (such as the "e" in trajeto) are often reduced or nearly silent, making the word sound more clipped and consonant-heavy.

Brazilian Portuguese Examples

1. O trajeto até o trabalho é muito longo. (The commute to work is very long.)
2. Verifiquei o trajeto no GPS antes de sair. (I checked the route on the GPS before leaving.)
3. O trajeto do ônibus mudou hoje. (The bus route changed today.)
4. Tivemos um problema durante o trajeto. (We had a problem during the journey.)
