  • Bus routes are generally referred to by their origination and destination rather than a route number.
  • It is advisable to go in person to get tickets in advance-credit cards are not accepted, so you have to make a trip to the station.
  • If you have oversize luggage (surfboard, bicycle, diving gear, a crate of papayas etc.) there may be an excess baggage fee, and it is a good idea to arrive early, and tip the porter/conductor well.
  • For international callers the phone number should be preceded by the country code (506)
