Cómo irEssential

Montevideo's official bus planner for routes, stops, schedules and available live vehicle information.

Pro tip: Keep the web planner or Google Maps as a backup, confirm the direction at the stop and carry pesos for the higher cash fare.

It covers routes, stops, schedules and live vehicle information where supplied. Recent store feedback and local reporting also describe outages and awkward behavior, so keep its mobile website and Google Maps as backups and confirm the stop direction on the street. Do not confuse it with STM Montevideo, a useful but privately developed app that uses municipal data. Cash is still accepted on Montevideo buses at a higher fare.

The current official tariff page lists lower electronic fares with the STM card, a minimum top-up and the first common card as free, but official visitor eligibility and accepted foreign identification are not clearly guaranteed online. For a short stay, cash may be simpler. For repeated trips, ask an official STM service point what document it will accept before planning around a card. A one-hour or two-hour fare can permit transfers under its rules, so state the desired ticket when boarding.

Frequencies fall late at night. Cómo ir is focused on Montevideo and does not replace intercity timetables or local systems elsewhere in Uruguay.
