Editor’s Note

Although taking the bus is a cheap transfer option, if you're travelling with young children or lots of luggage, I strongly recommend you take a private taxi instead for your safety and convenience.

Useful Tips

There's very limited storage on the bus, be sure to travel light.
The walk between the East Bus Station and the West Bus Station is a hot one. Be sure to use sunscreen and wear a hat during the midday sun.
You can pay for your bus ticket directly on the bus with the driver.
