There is even a bus locator, so you can see where the bus currently is! This is a great new feature, as it helps pinpoint the exact time it will be at your stop, rather than guessing the time it takes from the city center. All sign posts display the time it departs from the city center. There are new bus stops with covered waiting areas and digital displays, at some of the key locations around town.

If you are picking up the bus along San Cristobal Beach, it may be 5 – 10 minutes after that, depending on where you are in the route. It is just safe to be at the bus stop at that time and wait the few extra minutes.
