hay1246,

Do you mean "will we be able to TAKE the bus back to the bridge from here?"

yes, I mean TAKE (instead of "get).

Hay, 

In common everyday Spanish, this is how you would as it:  
"Vamos a poder tomar el autobús hacia el puente desde aqui?" -- you
would use the immediate future tense.

My comments from the comments below:
Bax:  "conseguir" = to find -- not what you asked to say.
Bax:  "Podremos" = "We will" -- correct use of the future tense.  It
tends to be formal, but correct nevertheless.

bobbie7: "de vuelta"; "de nuevo" = once again -- not what you asked to
say.  It's reduntant if you do, but people to speak redundantly
sometimes. So it's grammatically ok.
bobbie7: "para volver" = to return -- not what you asked to say, but
it will get you back to the bridge.

Let me know if you have any more questions.  If you are connected to
the computer, there are numerous resources and sofware that will
translate stuff for you, which I can provide for you.

However, nothing beats asking a native speaker for a correct way of
asking.

Good luck.

hay1246,
English: will we be able to get the bus back to the bridge from here?
Spanish: ¿Podremos conseguir el autobus de nuevo al puente de aqui? 

English: will we be able to TAKE the bus back to the bridge from here?
Spanish: ¿Podremos tomar el autobus de nuevo al puente de aqui? 

If you need it translated word-for-word (14 English words into 14
Spanish words), that might be impossible.

save yer $2.

good luck!

Hey dude,

instead of paying researchers to translate material, check out:

http://babelfish.altavista.com
http://www.worldlingo.com

Both have the ability to translate text or webpages for you.

At world lingo, you actually have to lick on "machine translation"
before you get the translator area.

Hello Hay1246, 

Here are two translations done by a person born and brought up in
Chile.
She prefers the first translation.

¿Vamos a poder tomar el autobús de vuelta al puente desde aquí?
 
¿Podremos tomar el autobús para volver al puente desde aquí?

If these translations satisfy you, let me know and I’ll post them as
the official answer.

Thanks

Dear hay1246-ga:

I support bobby7's version of the translation. The free advice offered
to you from baxendale-ga not only proved that mechanical translators
are not always the best source for meaningful translation, but it also
proved that free advice is not always the best advice. Thus the need
for expert researchers. Having said that, bobby7's information sounds
like $2 well spent to me.
