If you have a layover in Santiago de Chile or just looking for a reasonably priced fare into the…read morecity than look no further. Centro Puerto and another bús company offer daily rides to and from the center of the city. Fares are very cheap and the ride is nice. Upon leaving the airport you will see a sign advertisement for rides. Once you purchase your ticket you wait outside for a charter bus to pick you up. There's a few choices in stops that you driver can make, although ,everyone seemed to get off at the final stop which is right smack dab in the city. I never worried about timing as they came like clockwork. They said every 10-15 minutes but there was always 2-3 busses waiting in the city and even after purchasing my ticket at the airport there was already a bus waiting outside. So no worries with time at all! Just hop on and enjoy.

¡Centro Puerto es una vergüenza!…read more He utilizado el servicio de Centro Puerto durante meses y puedo decir con certeza que es uno de los peores servicios de transporte que he experimentado. A pesar de ingresar múltiples reclamos, los cuales no han sido respondidos de manera satisfactoria, el servicio sigue siendo deplorable. Hoy, 3 de agosto de 2024, dos buses (patentes PXT-X35 y PXT-X48) decidieron no detenerse en la parada de Las Rejas a las 13:44 y 13:50, respectivamente, causando un retraso significativo en mi agenda. Los choferes son increíblemente deficientes y no consideran los tiempos de retraso que afectan a los usuarios que dependemos de este servicio para llegar al aeropuerto. La falta de profesionalismo y compromiso es evidente. ¿Cómo es posible que un servicio tan importante para los viajeros sea tan negligente? ¡Es inaceptable! Es hora de que Centro Puerto tome medidas serias para corregir estos problemas y ofrezca un servicio digno de sus usuarios. No recomiendo este servicio a nadie que quiera llegar a tiempo y sin frustraciones. ¡Centro Puerto necesita una revisión completa de su operación!

The staff was super friendly and went out of their way to answer any and all questions. FYI, most tourist attractions are closed on Monday, you might be better served to plan something else than going to museums, and riding the gondola on a Monday. The buses were clean, the recording that you listen to, comes in a variety of languages and is extremely boring and useless. I've been on various bus tours in other cities with a live tour guides and it makes a world of difference, imho. We flew into town at 7:30 am and needed something to do until the hotel room was ready. Why not get the lay of the land, relatively cheaply with a hop on hop off bus tour, it drops you off at the most popular tourist spots. The overall length of bus tour without getting off is about 2 1/2 hours depending on traffic. Public Banos are few and far between, so take advantage when around one :-). Overall I give it 3.5 stars, but round it up to 4 because all 5 of the employees I interacted with, did an excellent job.

The entire loop takes about 2 hours if you dont get off. Frequency of busses is about 30 minutes. Cost $22,000 (US$33 at time of writing) for one day or $30,000 (US$45) for two day pass. Operating hours are 930AM to 6PM. For some reason I cannot find any maps on the website so I am attaching a picture of the paper map that they give out. Stops: 1. Parque Arauco Mall (very nice upscale mall with lots of restaurants even American chain restaurants like PF Changs and other high end shops) 2. Sheraton Hotel 3. Patio Bellavista (nice place to hang out for drinks and food) 4. Bellavista/Funicular (stop for funicular to the statue of the Virgin atop Cerro San Cristobal) 5. Museo Nacional de bella artes 6. Plaza de Armas (Caterdral Metropolitana, Correo Central, Palacio de la Real Audiencia, Paseo Ahumada and Huerfanos, Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino, Ex Congreso Nacional), 7.

Just be sure if you take the main plaza lift, you already charged your metro card because the recharge stations are past the gate. Transfers between multiple lines. Seemed fairly clean and spacious, bigger than other stations with a few kiosks for a snack or two.

Clean, well lit, though no handicap accessible features. For Line 1, it is between Universidad Católica (toward San Pablo) and Salvador (toward Los Dominicos). On Line 5, it is between Bellas Artes (toward Plaza de Maipú) and Parque Bustamante (toward Vicente Valdés). There are the usual ATMs, machines for loading value to your Bip! card, turnstiles and a security presence.

I got some help from my colleague who is local with some logistics. The drivers assigned to drive my boss were fantastic. He reported they were all on time and friendly.

Their customer service is open 24 hours a day. Jeanette gave us her cell phone number in case of any issues.

One "Bip!" and a short walk was way better than getting in some random taxi, that's for sure! As with all of the Santiago Metro stations I utilized this week, Estación Escuela Militar is clean and well it and devoid of litter. It is also very limited as far as handicapped access. Stairs only. There are a number of bus connections at street level. From the name, you can easily deduce that the station is located near the military school and indeed it is right next to it. The station is on Line 1, between Alcantara (towards San Pablo) and Manquehue (towards Los Dominicos).

Easy! Easy, easy, easy! I like easy. I spent three full days in Santiago and rode the metro at…read moreleast a half dozen times. Their system works well, the trains are often and clean, the stations are clean and well-lit and there is very little confusion about where the lines go or how you use it. It's all ONE zone, so none of that complication like London. It's all ONE company, so none of that complication like Tokyo. Easy! The lines are simple. They go from one end of town to the other or from the north end to the south. Sure, the trains don't go everywhere and there is a lot of the city that is not close to a station. But the main parts of downtown are well covered. As of 2018, there are no more single ride tickets. You will need to purchase a "Bip!" card, which you can do from any staffed counter. You load credit onto the card at any automated machine and they all accept cash and credit. You only need one card. You just wave it at the reader once for each person you're purchasing a ticket for. That's great! I have to say, I'm a fan. It would be "As good as it gets" when the train goes to the airport. Even the closest station is a few miles ride.

Coming from the US, this system is actually very good. I stayed in Las Condes, and traveled to city…read morecenter almost every day. You purchase a Bip! card (about $2.50), which stores money value on it, and you can reload the card at any station, via person or machine. You tap the card on the turnstile machine upon entrance only. There are 3 price levels: rush hour, regular, and low. The difference between rush & regular is only 10 cents or so. You are charged for each ride (660 pesos, about a dollar), and there is no day pass or week pass. This is a bargain compared to the US - but you have to plan your trip since each trip will cost you. And yes, this system is extremely crowded most of the time. It's not really worth it to wait for the next uncrowded train because they will all be crowded. Trains run the entire length of the station, and are pretty frequent during the day. I mainly only took the Line 1, since it served my area and downtown. Most signs are in Spanish & English, so you can get by if you are good with directions. I never felt threatened or unsafe on the metro. There is a security presence at most stations near the turnstiles.
