What is required to Drive in Los Cabos and Baja California?

No special permits or bonds are required, unless you plan to continue on to Mexico's mainland. You will need a valid drivers license issued by your state of residence. You must make sure to get Mexican insurance before crossing the border, as your U.S.A. insurance is not valid in Mexico. Do not drive in Mexico without insurance! While you are purchasing auto insurance, get a recent map that shows the locations of gas stations. Keep your gas tank as close to full as possible, even if it means extra stops. You never know when the next gas station will be closed or out of gas. It is a good idea to carry a gas can, with gas in it. The roads are constantly patrolled by the Green Angels (daytime hours only) who will help with gas and very minor repairs. These angels of mercy will pass by eventually, although you will probably be helped before they do by others passing by. The roads are generally safe, but narrow by U.S.A. standards, be extra careful. Don't drive at night unless you are curious about the real meaning of "Road Kill." Even in the day time, you will need to watch out for cattle and other animals, or even slow cargo vehicles and farm tractors crossing the highway.

Information on the public transportation bus system?

Los Cabos does have a public transportation bus service. These busses run between Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo all day, every day of the week. They start running in San Jose at 5:00 AM and in Cabo they start at 5:20 AM, and run until 9:30 or 10:00 PM. There are official bus stops, with seats and shade, but the busses can be flagged down, from almost anywhere along the highway, by waving your arms. They will usually stop, if they see you in time. The busses only run on the main highway and pass each stop approximately every twenty minutes. The fare is 16 pesos (about $1.45 U.S.) between the two towns, less fare if your only going part of the way. There are also express busses that won't stop for you (they must be boarded at a bus station), but wave anyway, they all look alike around here.
