Just an FYI for all you folks staying in/ passing through SPS: There is now a new central bus terminal that houses all the bus companies like Casasola and Hedman Alas. The only one I noticed as missing was King Quality, which was still using its old terminal. The new terminal, to which all the other bus companies just moved a month ago, is called Gran Central Metropolitana (L50 cab ride from the center of the city). The terminal is indoors and kind of reminds me of a smaller-scale version of Panama City's Albrook terminal. There's a food court upstairs with plenty of chicken and rice'n'beans dishes, and a licuados stand.

Many bus companies (Casasola, for example) haven't even updated their phone #'s yet, so to book your tickets with them, I'd just go to the terminal, like I did.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for that update. I was wondering if it had happened yet.

My local connections always told me the the old depot was extremely dangerous. Has this changed that at all?

The new terminal is well-lit and I felt safe there(a relative term in CA :), since it's not openly facing a seedy street. It's an enclosed terminal about the size of a small shopping mall. It's also a little outside of the city, so there's not much around the terminal but highways and gas stations.

I just found a website for the center, but most of the links on it don't work yet: http://grancentralhn.com/</a>
The ubicacion (map) link works, though.

Thanks for the update! I'm heading from San Pedro Sula to Copan with a group in tow this summer and will look forward to checking it out myself.
