El Tuito bus - 48380 Puerto Vallarta

Bus takes off every 30 minutes, no A/C. A highlight would be that you pay when you come off of the bus instead of what normally is when you get in the bus. The trip is nice, borders the sea coast.

The Tuito Bus departs from Colonia Zona Romantica in the heart of Old Town about every 30 minutes. It doesn't always depart on time or arrive on time, but hey you're in Puerto Vallarta, where are you going in such a rush? The buses are old, mostly diesel fueled and make a lot of noise. The drivers can be very aggressive and all over the road with their horn blasting at other vehicles going too slow or stopped too long in the road, That is the beauty of Mexico, the uncertainty of what's next. If you like a rigid schedule and a routine you can set your watch by stay, you're in the wrong country and you should keep your butt at home so you can get it to Walmart on schedule. It won't be long before these gems are replaced with more modern air conditioned equipment like the city buses were, so in the meantime I say sit back take a deep breath of that diesel, open your ears to the pounding of the tires against the cobblestone street and the banging of the vehicle falling apart for driving on them for so long. It will be a new day in a couple years and all of those visitors who really wish they would have gone to California instead of Jalisco will be ecstatic that change has come to Mexico.

This bus stop takes you to the Botanical Gardens. As of December 2018, the fare is 30 peso each way. If you only have bills they could give a small amount of change.

Fares change from driver to driver. Buses are dirty and of questionable integrity. Make sure to watch where the bus is going. The driver will not stop at a bus stop unless there is someone waiting or you ask them to right before you get there. Bus stops are not generally well marked and seem to stop wherever they want.

The bus is squeaky and bumpy and makes me want to sleep. It’s all of the feels of a childhood road trip.

Bus every half hour to botanical garden. 30 pesos for the ride one-way. Got a seat on the morning ride in but had to stand on the way back for part of the way. Super efficient and cheap compared to 350 peso cab ride one-way.

A bus stop that takes you to a small town called El Tuito. It also takes you to Conchas Chinas, Mismoloya Beach, Boca de Tomatlán , the Jardin Botánico ( Botanical Garden ) and other small towns close to Puerto Vallarta

Your main reason for taking his bus will be to go to the Botanical gardens at 30 pesos. it waits at the corner of venustiano carranza and aguacate. Just climb on and pay when they ask. If course you may want to stop at chicos paradise for a swim. No hop on hop off so it will cost another 30 pesos to get back on for the last 2km to the Botanical Garden
