Welcome to Arubus N.V.

Arubus N.V. is the major public transportation of Aruba owned by the Government of Aruba. We provide public transportation over major areas of the island. We also provide public school busses and private charters. If you're interested in a party bus, we can offer that too.

Over the past 25 years Arubus has grown from a fleet of 14 busses to 48 busses. Our fleet consist mostly of Volvo busses and recently we purchased three new Blue Bird busses for school transportation. Arubus has recently purchased a Chinese brand bus as a pilot project. This bus comes with the well-known Cummins diesel engine and Voith transmission and it also comes with air-condition. One of the maim reasons why Arubus invested in this Chinese brand bus is of it's more economic purchase price which is much lower than to the Volvo busses supplied through Brazil. If this bus is successful, more units will be purchased in the future to replace the current Volvo fleet.

The rates we charge for bus trip are very reasonable priced. A single bus trip costs 2.25 florins and a 2-way ticket costs 4.00 florins. Keep in mind that the 2-way ticket, yellow colored, is only valid for the same day of purchase. Past years we have been getting many complaints of tourists purchasing these yellow tickets from the minivan busses called "autobus" here. These minivan busses are independently owned and are not property of Arubus. Please beware not to purchase the yellow 2-way bus tickets from these minivan busses.

Arubus has a main office building, located a few blocks away from the Queen Beatrix Airport, which is the center of operation. There is a special garage that service and maintain our fleet and also other companies vehicles. We have skilled mechanics that take good care of our fleet for routine and emergency maintenance.

Local students can purchase their bus identification card called "stamkaart" and also the special priced student tickets at the main office. Each year the students must renew their "stamkaart".  Click here for further details of the stamkaart.

Local residents of the age of 60 and older and of Dutch nationality are eligible for free bus tickets. These blue colored tickets are only available at the main office. Click here for further details.
