Travelling in a Bolivia bus; though deemed a daunting task by many, can be completed successfully bearing in mind a few simple tips and tricks.
Bus travel is cheap and the most convenient travel form in Bolivia, as even the locals use it regularly. If you are new to travelling in Bolivia, there are a few terms you need to know; which will make your bus travels less confusing and nerve-wracking. Some of them are listed below:
• ‘Movilidades’ the term for anything that moves is generally used to talk about vehicles or different forms of transportation.

• ‘Flotas’ is the Spanish word used by Bolivian to refer to long-distance bus lines.

• ‘Buses and three-quarter’ is what people say when they mean large old-fashioned buses.

• ‘Micros and minibuses’ mean the buses smaller in size; these can be a bit uncomfortable at times.

• ‘La terminal terrestre’ or ‘la terminal de buses’ are the terms you need to know if a bus terminal is what you seek.

• ‘Coche’ is the Spanish term for a bus; while ‘cama’ refers to the sleeper class in a bus.

Fortunately, the Bolivian road network is improving due to the increasing number of tourists visiting each year bringing in more revenue.
