How to get from San Salvador to Suchitoto by bus

I took the bus from San Salvador to Suchitoto in El Salvador

bus 129 in Suchitoto, El Salvador

Blog post updated. Thanks to @BackpackingTony on X, for the new intel and the above photo.

It seems (though I can’t confirm) that the 140 San Salvador to Suchitoto bus which ran from the city centre (I used the 140 back in 2022) no longer exists and the only option from is the 129 bus which departs from the Terminal de Oriente Plaza Amanecer to Suchitoto, 4.5km east of town. The fare in now 1 USD, paid in cash.

I actually used the 129 coming back into San Salvador on my 2nd visit to Suchitoto.

I have a blog post detailing how to get from Santa Ana to Suchitoto by bus. A trip I made in July 2022, just for you guys, so make sure you check it out.

If you are in a hurry or the local buses are just not for you, you can organise a San Salvador to Suchitoto shuttle with GuateGo.
