ISLEÑO BUS ROUTE INFO
Travel Isla Mujeres like a local! Jump on and jump off the island’s buses, Isleños Bus. With two routes across the island, each traveling to different parts of Isla Mujeres, this is a great and cheap way to explore and see Mexico’s Caribbean paradise.
Are you coming off the ferry and wanting to head to Punta Sur to enjoy one of its stunning beach clubs for the day? If you’re in no rush to get to your destination on Isla Mujeres and want to save some money to enjoy an extra beer, why not hop onto an Isleños Bus to take you there?
Isleños Bus is the island's only bus company. They have two routes covering the island from the North End to Mid-Island, and onto Punta Sur or Sac Bajo. Leaving from downtown Isla Mujeres from a stop next to the restaurant La Playita by Playa Centro, or from the street right of the ferry terminal (look out for the blue signs with the white bus logo), the buses leave approximately every 20 minutes, however these times can vary.
If you are waiting for a bus along one of their routes, you will need to be patient as they don't have set times.
Route information can be found below…
When you jump on a bus, check with your driver to see if they pass your destination and you can pay for a single ticket from your location to your stop, or if you are planning on traveling more throughout the day, you can purchase an All Day Pass, their hop on hop off ticket ($7 USD), valid on any bus journey on that day, and on either of the bus routes, across the island, from approximately 7AM - 9PM. Flag down an Isleños Bus from the main road, get on, pay and tell the driver when you want to get off (try saying baja! - pronounced 'baa-haa').
