Santiago bus 412 (Red): route map, stops and timetable

Route 412 is the bus (locally called a “micro”) that crosses Santiago from west to east between Enea and La Reina. It is 37.2 km long outbound, from Av. San Pablo by Ruta 68 to Av. Las Perdices, and is a Red Movilidad service, the system formerly known as Transantiago. It passes through Cerro Navia, Lo Prado, the city centre along the Alameda, Providencia and the Av. Tobalaba corridor, so it works both for long trips and for short hops within each area. Many people search for it as “micro 412” or “recorrido 412 mapa”. Here you have the route by section, the timetable, the trip time and how to find out where the bus is.

Route 412: from Enea to La Reina

Enea and Cerro Navia. The 412 starts at Avenida San Pablo and Caletera Ruta 68, passes the Rotonda San Pablo and the Vespucio junction, and takes Av. José María Guzmán Riesco. It continues via Lo Prado Abajo, Boulevard Norte and Río Itata, passes the CESFAM Cardenal Raúl Silva Henríquez and joins Av. José Joaquín Pérez as far as Avenida La Estrella. It then passes the Gimnasio Municipal de Cerro Navia, runs along Mapocho Sur and reaches the Hospital Dr. Félix Bulnes.

Teniente Cruz, Neptuno and Lo Prado. From the hospital it follows Av. Teniente Cruz past the CESFAM Dr. Carlos Avendaño, takes Av. San Francisco and then Neptuno, stopping at San Pablo and Neptuno stations. It carries on along Av. General Óscar Bonilla, next to the Casa de la Cultura de Lo Prado, to Pajaritos station.

Alameda. From Pajaritos the 412 joins the Alameda and runs its full length: Las Rejas, Ecuador, San Alberto Hurtado, Universidad de Santiago, Estación Central, Unión Latinoamericana, República, Los Héroes, La Moneda, Universidad de Chile, Santa Lucía and Universidad Católica, up to Plaza Italia.

Providencia and Av. Tobalaba. It passes the Museo de Los Tajamares, Parque Balmaceda and Torres de Tajamar, stopping at Salvador, Manuel Montt, Pedro de Valdivia and Los Leones, up to Tobalaba station. There it turns south onto Avenida Tobalaba: El Bosque, Carmen Sylva, Carlos Antúnez, Cristóbal Colón, Pocuro, Francisco Bilbao and Príncipe de Gales.

La Reina. The last stretch follows La Cañada and Av. Príncipe de Gales eastwards, then Valenzuela Llanos, the Hospital Militar, Diputada Laura Rodríguez and Talinay, passes the Club de Campo Militar and ends at Av. Las Perdices and Av. José Arrieta.

The return trip, signed Enea, follows the same axis in reverse with a few different stops: in Providencia it passes the Hospital Metropolitano and the Biblioteca de Providencia, and in the west it uses Mapocho Norte and Huelén. It ends at Avenida San Pablo and Av. La Oración.

Route 412 timetable

According to the current DTPM operating schedule (October 2026), the 412 runs 24 hours a day from Monday to Friday, with about 98 departures per weekday. In the early hours it keeps running, but with long gaps: the night interval is about 135 minutes, so check the predictor before you leave.

On Saturday the first departure is at 05:30 and the last at 01:00, with about 80 departures. Sunday has the same hours, 05:30 to 01:00, with about 73 departures. In other words, at weekends the 412 does not run between 01:00 and 05:30.

In the morning peak (07:00 to 09:00) on a weekday, the shortest scheduled interval is 10 minutes.

How long the 412 takes

According to the operating schedule, a full outbound trip from Enea to La Reina has a scheduled time of 137 minutes for 37.2 km, more than two hours. If you are not riding end to end, work out just your own section, for example from Cerro Navia or Lo Prado to the centre, or from the Alameda to Av. Tobalaba. These are reference times; allow extra time in peak hours, especially on the Alameda and in Providencia.

Bus stops and Metro connections

The 412 has 111 stops outbound and 108 on the return, and passes 23 Metro stations. In the west: San Pablo, Neptuno and Pajaritos. On the Alameda: Las Rejas, Ecuador, San Alberto Hurtado, Universidad de Santiago, Estación Central, Unión Latinoamericana, República, Los Héroes, La Moneda, Universidad de Chile, Santa Lucía and Universidad Católica. In Providencia: Salvador, Manuel Montt, Pedro de Valdivia, Los Leones and Tobalaba. On Av. Tobalaba: Cristóbal Colón, Francisco Bilbao and Príncipe de Gales.

How to find out where the 412 bus is

To see how long until the next 412, use the App Red (in the app stores, “Red Metropolitana de Movilidad”), which is free and has an arrival predictor for each bus stop (paradero). You can also use “¿Cuándo llega?” on red.cl. Enter the bus stop code, printed on the stop sign: it starts with P, followed by a zone letter and a number. Because the route is long, the predictor is especially useful near the two ends and in the early hours on weekdays, when departures are far apart.

Fare and tarjeta bip!

Since 22 February 2026 the adult fare on Red buses is CLP 795 at any time. Secondary and higher-education students pay CLP 260 with the TNE, primary school pupils ride free and seniors with the bip! Adulto Mayor pay CLP 390. You can pay with the tarjeta bip! (it costs CLP 1,550) or with bip!QR from the App Red and other apps.

A single payment covers up to two transfers (three legs) within 120 minutes of the first validation, as long as you do not repeat the same bus route. There is no extra charge between buses; if you transfer from the 412 to the Metro during peak hours, you pay the difference up to CLP 895.

Tips for travelling on the 412

• If you are heading from the west to the centre in a hurry, you can get off at Pajaritos or any Alameda station and continue by Metro within the 120 minutes.
• Check the sign on the bus: eastbound it says La Reina and westbound, Enea.
• At weekends the last departure is at 01:00; after that there is no 412 until 05:30.
• In the early hours on weekdays the interval is about 135 minutes: check the App Red for the wait before you walk to the stop.
