Almost always. In some very specific technical contexts it might be okay, but for transport, it's safer to avoid it entirely.

Yes, 'agarrar' is common in Mexico and Central America, though it's slightly more informal than 'tomar'.

In the Canary Islands, Cuba, and Puerto Rico, 'guagua' is the word for 'bus'. So you would 'coger la guagua'.
