 Plaza O'Higgins,
Valparaiso by TheWanderingCamel
There are several companies operating this route, all charge the same fare and would appear to offer the same efficient service.
The terminal in Valparaiso is on Av Pedro Montt, near the Congress Building and Plaza O'Higgins. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

 Micros in Santiago by IIGUANA
You can actually take a bus anywhere on the street (they often stop wherever they want), but there are some bus stops where SOME (not all) of the buses stop. There might be another bus stop a few metres away where the bus you need will stop. It depends on the bus number...
The number... I've been living almost 3 years now and I don't know the number of the bus I need to get home. So I walk, ride a bike, take the subway or drive.
Micros are a mess, but it's something you've got to do at least once if you're in Santiago. You won't forget it. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

 City buses on Alameda by Glospi
They're all painted in yellow and white, and are required by law to not be older than 6 years.
The ticket for all of them cost $ 290 (US$0,50), every line has a number on the upper left front part and on the sides identifying the service, so if you know the number that's useful for you, use of the network comes very easy. If not, a list of the main streets and landmarks the bus goes along or passes by, is displayed in the front windshield, along with the line number (again) and the terminus to where it goes.
In central Santiago, there are designated bus stops for given lines and destinations, so find out which is your number/destination on the signs at the stops and wait for your bus there; otherwise, the bus may not stop.
Outside the centre, buses will stop anywhere asked. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

The main bus terminal for buses outside of Santiago is Terminal Alameda which is located at metro station "Universidad de Santiago" on metro line 1. There is a sub terminal also at Pajaritos station further down line 1 but not all intercity buses stop there.
The best companies to book long distance travel through are Tur - Bus and Pullman. Both these comapnies have offices inside the terminal alameda where tickets can be purchased a few minutes before the bus departs (if there are seats).
You can check out the Tur Bus website at www.turbus.cl for reservations, routes and prices. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

If you want to go to Vina Del Mar from Santiago you can catch the red line metro and get off at estacion Universidad de Santiago. Next to the metro estacion you will find the Terminal de Buses Alameda. From here I booked at one way ticket to Vina Del Mar. The bues are frequent, so it is not necessary to book in advance.

The bus system around Santiago is going through a few changes to integrate ticketing with the metro and overhaul the driver contracts. In the past Santiago has had to put up with dangerous yellow "micros" that raced from stop to stop trying to pick up as many people as possible so as to be paid more. Problem was that they caused many accidents and drove too fast. The idea was to replace these micros with much nicer, modern buses that are less polluting however I have noticed that they have replaced a few and the rest are being painted green and white over their former yellow. *sigh*. The buses are frequent and probably go anywhere you would want to go but honestly, given the choice, I would rather take a metro or a taxi! Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

As I arrived back in Santiago airport, coming from Easter Island, I needed transport to the Panamericano hotel, in the city centre of Santiago.
There were different possibilities, by bus, by taxi . . .
But I did choose to use the services of Transvip, as it looked the easiest option and at a good rate.
I paid 10 US dollars from the airport till the entry door of my hotel (transport time about half an hour)

 by tompt
to: By airplane to the international airport, just a half hour from town.
around: Our hotel was in the centre of town , so we walked a lot. But there are lots of busses, all wearing signs of their destination and the price( about 300 pesos a ride). There are lots of taxi's cruising the city and they are not expensive.
Trains are mainly used for transport to other cities. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
