A few things that everyone must know

Buses cost are per person / 1 way. You get a ticket, but, it is for their control. There are 4 buses R-1, R-2, R-15 & R 27. If you are traveling within the hotel zone then it really does not matter what bus you take (Wet'n Wild is the exception. It is in the hotel zone but only half the buses go there so ask before you get on). R-2 & R-15 go to Wal-mart & Mercado 28. R-1 you ask! Well, it now goes almost everywhere. You have to read the front right window of the bus as it lists where it ends up. R-1's will go to Puerto Juarez, Wal-mart, Plaza 2000, Mercado 23, the bus station & places I have never been. The R 27 turns left on Tulum Ave & goes to Plaza Las Americas (the local's mall).

Useful tips at buses
a) Last man standing does not win anything. It means you will be flying soon. If you are the last person to pay the driver then before you can think about where you want to sit he will be going 78 miles per hour.

b) Telling the bus driver where to get off is a good start but not always will it work. Most do not speak English well enough to understand you. Have an idea of where you are going before you get on. Look for landmarks.

c) They will not stop to let you off unless you ask them to. Don't assume they stop at all the stops.

d) To flag a bus down you need to wave one of your hands.

e) Cheapest tour in Cancun so enjoy it.

f) Get on in the front and off from the back door whenever possible.

g) Don't bring drinks on the bus as they will most likely end up on someone else.

h) When getting off NO ONE moves for you so if the bus is packed, put your head down and push.

i) 'The 'Official'way to alert the driver you want off is to press the Red Button on the handrail by the back door.
