Catching a bus in Lima, in most cases, can be a bit of an adventure for the inexperienced traveller. But with attention and the following reminders you will be able to locate your bus with ease and arrive safely at your destination.
Local buses in Lima; if you enjoy hands on holidays and would like to use the public transport like the locals, you will need to become familiar with the terms used in the city. ?Colectivos? are cars that have a set route, like a bus, but that only takes 4 to 5 people. It is not the same as in Argentina where a ?colectivo? is a bus.
The bus is also known as an ?ómnibus?. Then we have the microbus or micro, which is smaller than the bus, the same as the ?custer? or ?coaster?. ?Combis? are the most popular way of travelling; they are like vans or pickups and take a dozen passengers. They are the quickest but also the most uncomfortable.
