Bus Travel in Belize
|
|
|
As buses are the primary mode of
transportation for most Belizeans, routes
run on regular schedules and will stop to
pick up or drop off passengers at most any
location along the way. Every bus operates
with a driver and a conductor to collect the
fare. If you're lucky, the Express bus might
be air-conditioned.

As bus
“stations” move about and schedules shift
slightly through the year, visitors will
find these logistical details answered most
accurately by any taxi driver or most any
person on the street. All Buses heading
south and west are stopping in Belmopan.
