Regular bus services connect all towns in Belize, but for villages off the main highways you'll have to rely on slower local services, often with just one bus a day and running Monday to Saturday only. The majority of buses are second-class , but on the main highways there are a few luxury express buses , which stop only in the towns, while regular buses will pick up and drop off anywhere along the roadside. The Hummingbird and Southern highways, to Dangriga, Placencia and Punta Gorda, are not quite so well provided for, though there are at least a dozen daily buses to Dangriga, two to Placencia and eight to Punta Gorda. On all of these routes tickets can be bought in advance from the offices in Belize City; pay the conductor if you get on along the route. Fares are very reasonable (roughly US$3.50 from Belize City to the Guatemalan border, US$6 to Chetumal and US$12 to Punta Gorda).
