Getting Around in Belize
Buses
Buses are the primary mode of transportation for Belizeans and routes run on regular schedules throughout the country, with most buses stopping to pick up and drop off passengers at almost any location along the way. Every bus has a driver and a “conductor” who collects fares and sometimes assists passengers with loading their baggage or goods. Monday-Friday, buses begin runs at 4 am and run as late as 8 pm. As bus “stations” move about and schedules shift slightly throughout the year, visitors will find these logistical details answered most accurately by any taxi driver or almost any person on the street. All buses heading south and west are stopping in Belmopan. At each bus terminal there is a posted bus schedule for travels to refer to in order to catch a bus that adheres to their schedule.
James Bus Line
James Bus Line is one of Toledo’s flagship buses that continues to provide regular and reliable public transportation between Punta Gorda and Belize City. Please note that our schedule was updated on 1st of May 2019.
