Buses
Bus services in Honduras are some of the best in Central America, with frequent departures from the main transport hubs of Tegucigalpa, San Pedro Sula and La Ceiba, backed up by networks of local services. On the longer intercity routes there's usually a choice of bus, with an increasing number of luxurious a/c express buses ( ejecutivos or de lujos ) plus slower and less comfortable services ( directos ); local buses are typically much slower and more crowded. Timetables tend to be strictly observed, so plan ahead and double-check departure times if you want to avoid getting stuck. Fares are extremely low on most routes, at around US$0.8 an hour or less, though prices can triple on some of the really smart services - travelling between Tegucigalpa and La Ceiba can cost as much as US$18, depending on the service you choose. For intercity trips, it's worth buying a ticket well in advance, you'll usually be issued with a seat number. Virtually all direct buses stop to pick up passengers at certain points along the route - if there are no seats left, you stand.
