=== Urban transportation ===
The urban transport system began in Guatemala City in the 1990s and since then it has been one of the most used means of transport within metropolitan areas. Bus services such as [[Transmetro]] and [[Transurbano]] differ from other means of transportation, such as private or departmental public transport as they are regulated by lines with defined stops and are primarily used for short-distance transportation.

=== Intercity transportation ===
The Intercity system connects various cities, departments, and countries. It is mainly used for long-distance travel. In Guatemala, it is common to see [[Bus transport in Central America|Chicken buses]], which are recycled and often colorfully painted former US school buses. There are also [[Coach (bus)|Pullman]] buses that offer different destinations within Guatemalan territory.
