Our friend Scott told us about a great way to find your way around the bus lines in Montevideo. MontevideoBus is a website based on GoogleMaps that you can use to set your origin, destination and how many blocks from both you are willing to walk. The site will then track the nearby bus lines for you.
It does not give you the bus schedules or when to wait for your given bus line, but the city is well covered and many buses come in 10 minute intervals. MontevideoBus will even tell you how many stops are on each line so you can find the quickest route, if needed. I am excited to try out the website. We like the bus system here but it’s been kind of a crap shoot if we’re going to get exactly where we want to go. I feel like the city has just opened up a bit… Montevideo, Here we come!

Hi Lisa,
This is Heather– Scott’s wife. I’ve been enjoying your entertaining, informative blog, and I look forward to meeting you, Brad, and Geneva in person soon!
Cheers,
Heather
I think i’ve seen this somewhere before…but it’s not bad at all
Great! I’ve been living in Mdeo for about 20 years and never found this website before (I guess it is quite new, isn’t it?) Anyway, thanks for the tip.
BTW, great blog, I find it really interesting to read how you see our city and society from a different point of view.
Ooooops, I forgot… if there is anything I can do to help you here in Mdeo, just email me, you have my address now
… I’d be glad to help you anytime.
As you can see my English is not good at all, but we’ll manage to communicate I gues…
Cheers!
Hi Gonzalo! You’re too modest, your English is great! We’re so glad you like the blog. We love Montevideo and are happy to document our experiences here. If you have any comments or input on future posts, please keep them coming. We love to hear from people who been here and have more of the ‘insider’ information. Thanks!
Hi Heather! It was great meeting Scott when he was here and we can’t wait to meet the rest of the family soon. I love to keep up with you on Scott’s blog. Very creative!! I think Geneva and Baby S will be great pals. If we can help in any way, please drop us a note or call us on Skype. All the best in your preparations!
