Bicimetro - Brand New Service

We tell folks that it is unsafe to ride the public transportation here.  

It just is. 

 You could get robbed, your phone stolen, or even the bus drivers have been killed.  
It is just that simple.

However, Glenn and I purposely rode the Guatemala City bus on Sunday afternoon.  This is a brand new bus service designed to pick up passengers with their bikes. There is an armed guard riding on the bus.  The route goes from the upscale community off Las Americas (Zone 13/14) to Zone 1 and back.  

The buses are colorful!

The bikes are stored inside of the bus compared to being strapped on the front.

The route goes by a local market.

Glenn, BUSted!
