If you are staying near Tahiti Yatch Club in Arue, buses run from very early until at least 6 pm. Walk across the big sports field to Ave General de Gaulle then a few hundred meters east, stand on the pavement (sidewalk) in front of the funeral home/marble counter tops shop. Wave at any bus you see as they approach. They tend to run about every 20-30 minutes. The cost in Dec 2016 was 200xpf one-way and 360xpf return. The smaller buses go by the nearby Carrefour but this can’t be a 15 minute walk. The big buses stop in the same bus stand as the bus to Faa and Marina Taina. The small buses stop next to the town hall, the Marie. Marina Taina. The bus stand for Marina Taina from Papeete is a block south east of the main market (marche)just around from Vodaphone. If your French is poor just say Marina Taina to the bus driver and he will tell you yea or nay. The Omotara bus or the Paea/Papara bus go by the Marina. The cost in 2017 was 200 xpf or 340xpf return. The bus drops you just in front of the Marina. Coming back just cross at the pedestrian crossing and look for the bus stop sign. Walking in Papeete From the Papeete Marina to Fare Ute is 14 minutes at a steady pace. Ocean 2000 is twenty minutes as is Hyper Bricolage. Its similar from the bus stops if you’re coming from the out lying areas. Champion is about 10 minutes from Marina Papeete. ### Buses from Airport to Papeete Island: **Tahiti** πŸ“ GPS decimal degrees: Lat -17.560468, Lon -149.608844 *[GoogleMaps](https://www.google.com/maps/?q=-17.560468,-149.608844) [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=-17.560468&mlon=-149.608844&zoom=19)* From Airport exit airport and walk across the main road.

Thanks to SV Hedonsim 1-22 NOT all Android phones can download the APP. IF you have a FP phone and it was purchased here, Google Play should allow you to download. BUT, if you have a Google account not based in FP, you will not see the App as being available. We have 2 phones, one with a Vini Sim and one a Google Fi. Neither is able to download the APP because our Google Acct. is not in FP. I spent considerable time trying to figure it out. Apparently you can change your Google Location and download it but you are only allowed to do that once per year. Google Play it will not even show up. Go on the web to the Tere Tahiti site and click on "download the APP" and this is what you get IF you do not have a FP based account. You can obtain the app for android here: [🌐 play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spec.mobiv.teretahiti](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spec.mobiv.teretahiti)
