Bus station The bus station is on the Main Rd in Nyaung U, close to the Shwezigon Pagoda
and not far from Thiripyitsaya 4 St and some of the Main Rd guesthouses. If you're heading
on to Wet Kyin Inn, Old Bagan or New Bagan you'll need to hire a taxi or pick-up (around
K5000 to Old Bagan or K7000 to New Bagan) or hop on a (slightly cheaper) motorbike taxi.
Shared pick-up trucks also run from Nyaung U market down to New Bagan.
Tickets Tickets for express buses can be bought from any of the myriad tour operators in
Nyaung U , plus a couple in New Bagan.
Routes For Pakokku (1hr) and Monywa (4hr) you'll need to catch one of the two minibuses
that depart daily (7am & 9pm), or alternatively catch a pick-up (5hr) from near the market.
