A few transport questions help you find the right bus and follow the journey.

The idea

Ask ¿dónde está la parada de autobús? for the stop and ¿este autobús va al centro? for the destination. ¿Cuántas paradas faltan? asks how many stops remain; tenemos que bajar says we need to get off.

Examples

  • ¿Dónde está la parada de autobús?Where is the bus stop?
  • ¿Este autobús va al centro?Does this bus go to the city centre?
  • ¿Dónde puedo comprar un billete?Where can I buy a ticket?
  • ¿Cuántas paradas faltan?How many stops are left?
  • Tenemos que bajar en la próxima parada.We have to get off at the next stop.
  • El autobús llega en diez minutos.The bus arrives in ten minutes.

Watch out

Words for buses and tickets vary by region. Confirm the route and stop with local signs or staff; the same line number can serve different directions.
