Probolinggo to Banyuwangi PATAS question

... and I would find 16.40 too late.
Buses are so much more frequent and require no advance booking.
Due to this flexibility offered by them, I always take buses on that route.
The 4 hours trip to Banyuwangi is bearable even in an Ekonomi one.

I'm not sure what your point is but the OP isn't asking about how fast or slow buses are travelling between Probolinggo and Banyuwangi. Given that you advised the OP to take a bus from somewhere on the roadside outside town I'm simply pointing out that as an express bus she's far less likely to get on a PATAS bus that way than from the bus station in town.

Thanks for the help guys, I think with my current options I'm just going to take my chances of taking a PATAS bus from the Probolinggo station. What I was trying to figure out in my original post was how to distinguish a "PATAS" bus from an economy bus, and also if the PATAS bus can be taken from the station. It seems by the responses that yes I can find a PATAS bus from the station.

Patas buses usually have the word Patas written on front.
And inside they have 2+2 seats in a row, not 3+2 like most Ekonomi.
