Is there good bus service in Puerto Vallarta?

My American colleague Michael used to tell me that the bus service in Chicago is sometimes better than the bus service we have here and sometimes worse, depending on the bus you get. For instance, if you get a bus to go to places like Nuevo Vallarta or Punta de Mita, the buses are very nice and very comfortable.

The bus service is Puerto Vallarta is very cheap. They charge 35 pesos (less than US $2) per person from the airport to Sayulita (about an hour north of Puerto Vallarta by car or bus) and if you have luggage you won’t have any trouble with that. Some of the buses in Puerto Vallarta have air-conditioning and you could get one if you’re lucky. If you’re not so lucky, you could get on an older bus but it is still comfortable even without the...

Buses in Puerto Vallarta go everywhere, even in places where I didn't think a bus could go. They go through some of the smallest subdivisions and back areas because people live there and they need to get home. There are buses on the main avenues and everywhere else you could think of.

Once you figure out the bus system in Puerto Vallarta, it's a very convenient and inexpensive mode of transportation. A bus ride around town costs 8 pesos (about US $0.50). If you're taking a bus to Guadalajara or somewhere else, the cost is 800 pesos to 1,000 pesos ($45 to $56) round trip. If you're 60 years old or older, your bus fare around town or going to Guadalajara is half the normal price.
