    Bus to Hoi An So I took the updated 02 bus route that changed this month from Danang to Hoi An. For the tourists out there, you can get picked up on Tran Phu street near the Han market and brings you all the way down to Hoi An for 30k a person. On the notice it does say an extra ticket for luggage if it’s large but I didn’t see the driver charging anyone this. The bus takes little over an hour, and was comfortable with AC. This gets asked all the time so I wanted to share.
