Choozin Croozin Posted May 25, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I swear i saw a post that had a link to a [B]map[/B] of where all the different bus lines run on the island. It had all the different color lines on it. I can find the one that lists when they run but has no map. I want to go from ship to turtle farm to sting ray tour and back to ship. If anyone knows what I'm talking about, please let me know. thnx Time remaining 'til Mariner of the Seas [img]http://escati.linkopp.net/cgi-bin/countdown.cgi?trgb=000000&srgb=00ff00&prgb=9400d3&cdt=2005;03;27;16;00;00&timezone=GMT-0500[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicagomom Posted May 25, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I agree. I thought I had seen that too, but haven't found it in my searching. Maybe we saw it in a guide book? I think you would take either the yellow or lime bus route to get to the Turtle Farm. Then just take it back to town to catch your Stingray tour. Should be relatively easy.

Choozin Croozin Posted May 25, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Thanks, I'm sure that I can figure it out when I get there. I just kind of wanted to have everything planned out ahead of time. May it was on the Cozumel board that we saw it. ???

bruce-r Posted August 7, 2004 #5 Share Posted August 7, 2004 [quote name='sea_u_onboard']Anyone able to help? I would sure be interested in the bus schedule.[/QUOTE] They really aren't "buses" like you would see in an American city. They are vans that take at most 12 people. There didn't seem to be a set schedule. I took one from Georgetown to Public Beach (on 7 mile) to meet up with a dive operator. The van didn't leave until it was full. You can find where the buses leave from by walking from the tender dock 1 block to the left and 2 blocks in from the shore. Just ask a local. The cost was $2.50 Tell the driver where want to go and he'll let you off at your destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choozin Croozin Posted February 16, 2005 Author #12 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Just wondered if Hell is only 1-1.5 miles (which is certainly a nice walk), can we walk to T Farm too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbpjr Posted February 17, 2005 #13 Share Posted February 17, 2005 [font=Comic Sans MS][size=3]if you are walking from the town to turtle farm its a long walk, it could be done, but buses are cheaper $2.50 pp to the farm. then walk to the farm to hell then we walked to West Bay Public Beach couple blocks south of the beach there is a IGA grocery store across street you can catch the bus.[/size][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
