Honduras bus schedules

The only ticket I received with any sort of bus schedule was the one from Congolon. The other option for this kind of bus is Sultana.

This is one of those nice, giant buses. You almost never feel cramped. The seats recline, or are permanently reclined in some cases.

These buses:
- usually leave on time
- stop at many places along the route
- are really not that expensive

We took a Sultana from the main road by San Marcos to Ocotepeque for 40 lempiras each.

We took a Congalon bus from Agua Caliente to main road by San Marcos. It cost 60 lempiras each.
I estimate that from Agua Calient to San Pedro, or vice versa, would cost about 190 lempiras per person.

San Pedro Sula to Agua Caliente:
12 midnight
5:30am
6:00 am
7:30 am
9:00 am
11:00 am
1:30 pm
3:00 pm

Agua Caliente to San Pedro Sula:
12 midnight
5:30 am
6:00 am
7:30 am
9:30 am
11:00 am
11:50 am
12:30 pm
3:00 pm
4:00 pm

Tegucigalpa to San Pedro Sula:
4:00 am

Agua Caliente to Tegucigalpa:
11 am

Guatemala to San Pedro Sula, viceversa: 
5:45 am


The other bus options you have are school buses, sometimes called chicken buses. I have no idea about their bus schedules and they usually don't go as far as the bigger buses.

We have taken a school bus from San Marcos to Ocotepeque and also from Ocotepeque to Agua Caliente. Depending on how far they go, you will pay between 20 to 50 lempiras per person.

I usually plan for about 40 lempiras for an hour bus ride, whether by yellow school bus or long-distance bus.
