Bus destroys shelter on Puerto Vallarta’s Libramiento

Bus destroys shelter on Puerto Vallarta’s Libramiento

A Magisterio–Túnel bus knocked down a shelter on Vallarta’s Libramiento Monday. No injuries were reported. Tuesday’s pickup point is unconfirmed.


Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Nov. 9, 2026 – A Magisterio–Túnel bus struck a bus stop on Libramiento Luis Donaldo Colosio near Calle Amado Nervo on Monday afternoon, knocking down the shelter. No injuries were reported.

Vallarta Daily asked Unibus PV whether buses will still pick up passengers at the El Remance stop on Tuesday, Nov. 10, or use a temporary stop. The operator had not yet replied Monday evening.

Firefighters and municipal traffic officers checked the bus and the sidewalk after the crash; no one was waiting at the shelter when it collapsed. Officials checked passengers aboard the bus at the scene, and they did not need to go to the hospital.

The cause remains unconfirmed. Tribuna cited speed as a possible factor based on information gathered by traffic officers. Officers had the bus towed to reopen the road, the outlet reported.

In July, the City Council approved a study for a pedestrian bridge between El Remance and Benito Juárez. Ricardo Simental, a Benito Juárez neighborhood representative, told the council that steep stairs make the existing underpass difficult for some older residents. “People cross there every day, at all hours,” he said.

Calle Amado Nervo is a regular stop for several routes in Vallarta’s city bus network. The regular stop listings include San Esteban and Infonavit, as well as Magisterio–Túnel. Riders can reach Unibus PV’s customer service line at +52 322 276 4146.
