It is safe, but IT ONLY LEAVES WHEN FULL, so you might have to wait for very long to leave.
To buy a ticket, you will find a desk after passing customs, still inside the airport, at the right.
If you want to take it from the city to the airport, you can call them to their telephone number 5171893. Leave a Comment

 colorful local buses by richiecdiscLeave a Comment Theme: Bus

It's a fairly simple matter to find your way around the rest of this huge, spread-eagled city. Almost every corner of it is linked by a regular municipal bus service , known to everyone as El Bussing, with flat-rate tickets (around $0.2) bought from the driver as you board. In tandem with these are the privately owned microbuses , older and smaller, more colourful and equally crowded, but again with flat rates (25Ē). Quickest of all Lima transport, combi colectivos race from one street corner to another along all the major arterial city roads. You'll see "Todo Arequipa" or "Todo Benavides", for example, chalked up on their windscreens, which indicates that the colectivo runs the whole length of Avenida Arequipa or Avenida Benavides. Colectivos dash dangerously fast, frequently crashing and speeding off before their passengers have got both feet into the vehicle, and might be anything from a ramshackle Dodge Coronet to a plush fifteen-seater minibus; wave one down from any corner and pay the flat fare (around $0.4) (1 sol )to the driver or fare collector. You can catch colectivos or buses to most parts of the city from Avenida Abancay. Taxis can be hailed on any street, and cost $2-4 to most central parts of the city. It's worth reiterating that driving in Lima is incredibly anarchic - it's not that fast, but it is assertive, with undertaking happening as often as overtaking and drivers, especially taxistas, finding gaps that don't appear to exist (one reason why there are so many damaged cars).

 not a taxi, just a car
like a colectivo by chancay
You pay inside or when you are leaving the Micro/Combi. You can stop these ones as well as taxis at every place, better at corners. To leave the bus just say e.g. at the corner ("escina") or "baja" (, that means "to alight").
A taxi costs you between 3 and 20 soles, depends how far you wanna go, ask for the price before getting into the car. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Catch one if you can.........they come flying by. Extremely cheap, but hard to figure out which one to take. Don't stand too close to one if you're on the sidewalk, the exhaust fumes will knock you out, I don't think they have any air pollution laws! cough...cough..... Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

Public transport is very good in Lima. Collectivos (also called combis) are criss-crossing town every 30 seconds or so and cost virtually nothing.
Taxis are plentiful, just make sure you take green & white taxis with the official sticker outside (ask your hotel what it should look like, I can't remember).
I found using collectivos in Lima a great way to get real close to Peruvians and observe the world inside and outside of those minibuses. At first the routes etc.. are a bit bewildering but once your Lima mind map is built, you'll enjoy hoping on & off all over town. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

I took the bus from the airport to the hotel that was the cheapest and best only around 5 soles and they drop you off right at your hotel.
This is much cheaper than the hotel cab that wanted 15 US$ for the trip.
The bus people are right at the check out and you can buy the tickets right there. No problem about luggage as it can be stored in the luggage compartment below (by the driver).
Safe convenient and very cheap. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus
