Mazatlan Bus System Easy To Use

Mazatlan Bus System Easy To Use

The Mazatlan bus system is easy and cheap to use. Here is the inside scoop.

The Sábalo Centro bus runs from the hotel zone to downtown and costs $3.70 pesos. As with most buses, an extra 50 or 70 centavos is charged depending on the distance.

The buses begin running at 5:30 am and start their final route about 10 pm. Buses are spaced at intervals of about 10 to 15 minutes. During rush time from 5 to 7 pm, buses fill up and two or three may pass you up for lack of space.


“We have really enjoyed your book (Bus Across Mexico) and find it very helpful.”


If your destination is within the hotel zone, any of the buses passing in front of your hotel will do.

The Cerritos Juarez bus stops at the La Gran Plaza and Soriana shopping malls, and near the baseball stadium.

The Sábalo Cocos bus stops at Gigante Super Market, Plaza Ley del Mar, across the street from Soriana, Ley I and the Bus Station.

The new tourist buses, which are air conditioned run the Sabalo Centro and Sabalo Cocos routes from the hotel zone to downtown and cost $7.50 pesos.
