Futura bus

Posted by Pablo User icon on January 11, 2026, 6:58 pm

A few years ago we came via Futura bus from Zihuat and got dropped off in Melaque. But we didn't recognize where we were in Melaque exactly. Luckily a taxi happened to show up with passengers for that Futura or I'm not sure what we would have done (it was 6 am, pitch black). So... we have relatives coming this winter via that same bus and would like to give them a heads up on what they should do or where to walk to find a taxi. Anyone know where that Futura bus drop-off spot is in Melaque?

Calle Gomez Ferias (parallel to the beach) between Venustiano Caranza (where is Primera bus and thé central de autobuses) and Calle Carillo Puerto. It is not obvious but the store that sells the tickets has a little sign with the Futura logo.

Mil gracias, Jean-Louis! I can't believe we were that close to the main bus terminal corner that morning and not recognize where we were in town. Obviously a lot different with the streets empty and almost total darkness. This info will definitely help our relatives when they arrive in March. Again thanks a bunch, eh.

We walk back from the drop zone about half block to the central de Autobuses (Primeta bus termi al) where we found 2 taxis waiting.
