Arubus is offering a special schedule to facilitate islanders enjoying the events taking place over the weekend, and to relieve the stress of finding parking or being blocked in by other inconsiderate drivers. On Saturday, February 11, when the Lighting Parade is over, there will be extra busses leaving the bus station in Oranjestad to make sure that everyone can get home or to the San Nicolas bus station safely, particularly in the case of consumption of alcohol. There is nothing more pleasant after a night of partying than to sit and relax in a bus and go home without having to bother with the traffic or people driving irresponsibly. Arubus has experienced and conscientious drivers, capable of bringing everyone safely to their destination.
