Useful Tips for Bus Travel

Cancun Bus Tips (thanks to ExploreCancun.com)

a) Last man standing does not win anything. It means you will be flying soon. If you are the last person to pay the driver then before you can think about where you want to sit he will be going 78 miles per hour.

b) Telling the bus driver where to get off is a good start but not always will it work. Most do not speak English well enough to understand you. Have an idea of where you are going before you get on. Look for landmarks.

c) They will not stop to let you off unless you ask them to. Don't assume they stop at all the stops.

d) To flag a bus down you need to wave one of your body parts.

e) Cheapest tour in Cancun so enjoy it.

f) Get on in the front and off from the back door whenever possible.

g) Don't bring drinks on the bus as they will most likely end up on someone else.

h) When getting off NO ONE moves for you so if the bus is packed, put your head down and push.

Crossing the street is not a right; it's a challenge. YOU DO NOT have the right of way even in a cross walk or at a red light. Be on the defensive. Taxi & bus drivers do not have any education and think that the road holds 3 things;
1) Their vehicle, 2) Their garbage & 3) Their right of way. So RUN when crossing the street.
