Illegal Bus Stops Snarl Traffic in San Pedro Sula

Published on Honduras Daily · Jul 27, 2026 · Originally reported July 26, 2026 by La Prensa

Minibuses in San Pedro Sula are parking illegally and picking up passengers outside authorized stops, accounting for about half of the city's 100–120 daily traffic violations and creating congestion and pedestrian hazards; authorities say a thin staff struggles to monitor the city's 2,000 bus stops.
