Border & Bus Safety
Bolivia Hop is very different from other Bolivian bus companies. Our focus is on safety, and we will never jeopardize the safety of our passengers by driving recklessly. Other Bolivian bus companies are famous for their lack of safety standards. They speed to get passengers from point A to point B in order to collect more passengers and do another trip.
Furthermore, other companies are famous for causing major problems for tourists when crossing the Bolivian border. This involves driving off while you’re in immigration, helping immigration with scams, or allowing unknown passengers onto the bus who are there simply trying to steal your bag when you are not looking. If you google this, you will see that we are not lying!
So, in order for you to have a safe and stress-free bus journey, we have the following procedures in place:
BUS SAFETY

Drivers swap every 4 hours to avoid tiredness and fatigue. - A large team of drivers
