T3 PORTBUS to Mirador de Colón: Time

[IrieBajan54]

About how long does it take the T3 PORTBUS to go from the Quai Assodat Terminals where NCL docks to the Columbus Monument? I assume that there are several buses running at different intervals?

NCL is usually at Terminal 1 and the T3 port bus will run continuously from each terminal. As they fill busses at each terminal the ride to the stop near the Columbus monument will take from 5 to 10 minutes depending on traffic. During peak times they have agents taking payment at the stop so that when the next bus arrives they board quickly and depart after just a few minutes and then depart just prior to the arrival of the next bus at about 10 minute intervals.

Timetable for the T3 PORTBUS

 

The cruise port shuttle bus co-ordinates its schedule and frequency depending on the arrival and departures of the cruises. Therefore the cruise shuttle bus service is not a regular scheduled bus service but one that only runs based on demand.

 

There is a cruise port shuttle bus service called the T3 PORTBUS service (Colloquially known as the "Blue Bus") that runs in a circular repeating route from the Christopher Columbus monument to all cruise disembarking points. The Columbus monument is a 1 minute walk to the foot of the famous La Rambla Boulevard.
