Panama Traveling Guide: How to Take the Bus in Panama?

Bus in Panama | Choose Panama
If you have just moved to Panama or visiting Panama, you are ready to explore the nation. In Panama, there is only one main highway, but sadly that doesn’t make things less complex. Let’s check out how to take the
​bus in Panama
and what you can expect while traveling.

1. Catch a bus either at a bus stop or by taking a lift.

When you are at the bus stop, just wait for the bus with the city name
you will head to. Make sure to ask the driver whether the bust will go
where you anticipate it to. Otherwise, just stand on the roadside to
catch a bus and wave your arm down. If the bus is not full it will stop
and pick you up.

2. When you get onto the bus, make sure to say hello to everybody in Spanish.

Each passenger who gets on is expected to this. The  correct greeting in Panama  is Buenas. You will receive a collective Buenas from the existing passengers on the bus.

3. Find a seat instantly because the bus driver will begin driving even in case you haven’t got a seat.

If you can’t get a seat, go upfront and the helper of the driver will provide you the jump seat in front of the bus’ entrance. Be ready to get up and down when people enter and leave the bus.

4. The bus driver doesn’t take fees when you enter the bus.

Later in the tour, his helper takes it. The amount can vary. Don’t argue regarding the fees if it is changed from the past ride time and simply pay. When you are in Panama, arguing won’t help.

5. When you reach the destination, make sure to look around for all your belongings that they may have placed in the bus’ back.

Many new expats and tourists forget their things.

6. In case you are going to go to the other place away from Panama City, you will require purchasing a ticket at the Allbrook Mall.

You should purchase a metro-card that is not costly at all. This card is required to get to a bus. You can utilize one card for many people traveling together.

7. You will go outside after receiving your ticket.

Don’t match the number on your ticket to the ones by the buses as they do not match. Rather, follow the ticket agent who is the driver’s assistant for the tour. Make sure to inform the assistant about where you will go, so he can remind the driver also. After getting on the bus, don’t forget to say Buenas to everybody again. Nobody will collect your ticket until you are about the reach your destination.

Conclusion

So, this is how to take the bus in Panama and explore the country. You can save a lot of money going to and from the airport in Panama City by traveling on a bus. The journey is a little more complex than other routes.
