Mulege Baja California, Mexico Travel Guide
The most structured public transit available for travelers is the inter-city bus service. Mulegé town has no local bus lines on fixed routes. The main hub is the ABC bus station, a small office and stop located directly on Highway 1, typically near the entrance to town. Buses travel north towards Santa Rosalían and south towards Loreto and La Paz. These are your best bet for travel beyond Mulegé itself.

Check the latest schedules locally, as they can change. Public transportation, especially ABC buses, may not be wheelchair accessible. Streets and sidewalks in Mulegé can be uneven.
Less formal than fixed bus routes. Operate on popular short routes if demand exists (e.g., downtown to Bahía Concepción beaches). Not scheduled services, but ad-hoc arrangements.
