Autobus Metropolitano and donation to the gtolist

[Doyle Phillips]

1. Online do you know where to get info about the "new" bus service called Metropolitano? From what i have read it is part of Flecha Amarilla but nothing about hours, schedule, stops and costs.

2. To donate to gtolist... will Bill or Don take my money when i see them around town or is it strictly electronic?

Took the Metropolitano to Leon last month with a stop at Silao plus just about every place else people wished to get off/on.
Took at least 50% longer than a regular direct bus. So hardly worth the 14 peso savings. Did not see a printed schedule but it makes lots of trips about every 20 minutes on that route.
PS My wife & I took it back from Leon a couple of weeks later as it was the next scheduled bus. It was over a hour late.

Metropolitano and Flecha Amarilla are one and the same company. Metropolitano buses are green, ply a route between Le?n and (now) San Luis de la Paz, with scheduled stops in Silao, Guanajuato, Dos Rios, Delores) as well as Guanajuato<==>Irapuato. In Le?n, the Metropolitano traverses Lopez Mateos (stopping by Costco and Sams) instead of heading directly to the bus station via the back way.

In terms of schedule, both Flecha Amarilla and Metropolitano beat to their own drummer. Always best to ask the person selling tickets next to the buses when the next Flecha or Metropolitano is leaving towards your destination, and jump on the bus that is leaving first.
