There are 2 listed services: Radio Servicio de Taxis de Guaymas – 224-0466 Bus Service in San Carlos Are the local busses old, rickety and unsafe to ride? The days of the old dilapidated school busses like in the movie "Romancing the Stone" are long gone in San Carlos. The local company has upgraded to modern Mercedes Benz busses. What hours and how often do they run? The first bus into San Carlos arrives about 6:15 and departs at about 6:30. Busses run every 20 minutes until 7:00 pm. After 7pm there is one at 8:00 and 9:00. The next one isn’t till 11:00 pm and that is the last one of the evening. What is the route? In San Carlos the route takes you along the Boulevard Beltrones (the main street), where you can access all local business, past the church plaza and Marina Terra to the end of Marina San Carlos. *Note: During Easter week they add a route to Los Algodones Beach and to the ranchitos area. What does it cost? When you get on the bus you can say to the driver "San Carlos" (this lets him know to charge you only the local tariff of $4 pesos (.40 cents). If you are going into Guaymas the fare is $9 pesos (.90 cents) Will the driver give me change? It is always best to have small change or small bills (20 or 50 pesos) on hand to give the driver. If you don’t have change they will give you change for a larger bill. However, don’t be alarmed if they take your bill and let you know that they will give you change when you disembark. Bus drivers turn in their fares at the end of every few round and they have to build up their base to provide change for larger bills. Sometimes if they don’t have change they will give you back your bill and let you ride at no cost. Where can I catch the bus? There are several established bus stops around town. However, if you find yourself not quite at the next stop and the bus is whizzing by, you simply have to hail it with your hand and it will stop to pick you up. Utilities Electricity: Mexico uses the same 60 cycle, 110-volt current as the U.S. so hair dryers, cell phone chargers, lap tops, etc. work just fine. But, be sure to have a surge protector with you for your lap top. Water: Deluxe hotels and restaurants provide drinkable water. When in doubt, ask for bottled water.
