click above link for other threads discussing taxis/bully and getting around.

there is no reason or need to be "stuck"
there are tons of taxis lined up outside the arrival hall at airport.
take one of those taxis OR make a reservation with a taxidriver prior..such as bully.

I have been to Aruba at least once a year from about 1980, when I return next week, it will be my 3rd visit this year! Usually I get a rental car from Toyota, and/or take taxis when I'm on the island. But this time I will only be there a few days and would like to plan my visit around where Arubus goes. But I cannot find a route map online showing the various stops (bushaltes). I know the buses go to and from the city out to Marriott and beyond to Arahsi, but are there stops near the Alhambra Casino, low rise hotels, or Costa Linda? We usually stay at Manchebo, but I don't recall seeing any nearby bustops.

Thanks for any help.

there are bus stops right along the way.
when you get on, just tell the driver of where you want to get off and they will stop.

there is a stop right beyond the alhambra heading towards town. another down by the tamarijn/dutch.

there are stops all along the way to and from town stopping every 200 yds or so.

Are the buses air conditioned?

[Andrea J.]

dunno ????

The buses we were on were not air conditioned. However, the side windows were open which created a nice cooling breeze. It was actually more comfortable on the bus than it was waiting at the bus stops.
