Bus

Zacatecas’ main bus station is on the southwest edge of town, around 3km from the center. Many buses are de paso (which means they stop here en route between other cities). The station has a luggage checkroom, a pharmacy and telephone casetas. The former bus station, Centro Comercial Zacatecas (the ‘ex-centro’), is on Blvd López Mateos and has buses for local destinations including Fresnillo and Villanueva (for La Quemada).

See the table opposite for daily departures. There are also frequent buses to Jerez and Torreón and several a day to Chihuahua, Ciudad Juárez, Saltillo and Nuevo Laredo. Durango-bound buses stop in Sombrerete and depart hourly from the central bus station (M$120).
