Mexico bus lines offer great variety of bus service.  Travel in
Mexico by bus can be rewarding, but at times confusing.
Bus tickets on Mexico's various bus lines are difficult to book on
the web. Many bus routes with differing fares add to the confusion.
Mexico bus lines offer great variety of bus service, however.
Use this guide to Mexico's bus routes,  Mexico's bus lines,
levels of bus service, and bus fares to sort out Mexico's bus
service and make your bus travel in Mexico more enjoyable.
OCC is a division of ADO, a
large bus line that covers all of
South Central and Southern
Mexico and includes the
States of Veracruz and
Tamaulipas in the Northern
Gulf of Mexico area
Mexico Bus Travel is a work in progress.  The road systems improve at a fast pace and the
major bus lines adjust prices and routes according to demand.   Mexico bus service is truly
modern and an excellent travel bargain.
Bus routes are convenient and comfortable although Mexico is extremely mountainous country.  

Mexico bus transportation puts all of the country within reach at a low pesos per mile ticket
price   Travel by bus in Mexico is a pleasure.
  • Bus Service:
A bus line in Mexico could offer several levels of service.  ADO, for example, offers Platino
Service, which is a luxury bus with fewer seats,  more legroom, and few or no stops between
major cities.  Their next level of service offered by ADO is GL service or Grand Lujo, an
elevated level of service.  They then offer regular first class ADO and the economy OCC,
both high levels of first class bus service.   You can shop for these differences in service by
comparing time of trip and price.  Shop on the web at ADO or at Bolatotal  an agency
formerly called Ticketbus.

  • Bus Routes:  First class buses use the high speed toll roads wherever possible.  They
avoid the steep mountain roads for the most part.  They travel from major city to major city,
the higher levels of service making few or no stops between major transportation hubs.  

  • Coastal Bus Routes: There are three major routes for bus travel from the north
of Mexico to the south: the Gulf Coast Bus route, the Pacific Coast route, and the Central
Highlands bus route.
South of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, the bus routes change to a Pacific Coast route through
Chiapas which splits to follow the coast to Tapachula or to head inland over the mountains to
San Cristobal de las Casas and to Palenque. The other bus route follows the Gulf Coast
through Villahermosa, Tabasco and into the Yucatan and on to Merida and Cancun.

  • Bus Fares:
Ticket prices will vary depending on the season and the demand, but you can figure to pay
12-15 cents USD per mile.  You can pay double that on the elevated levels of service and
less on routes that are not in high demand.
Bus Travel In Mexico:
  • Booking Mexican Bus Travel on the Web
Most bus lines in Mexico have not developed their websites
for convenient web booking of tickets.  They offer flash but
no function.  The exceptions are ADO, the agent Boletotal  
(boleto is ticket in Spanish), Primera Plus (Flecha
Amarilla), Tufesa Bus, and Tica Bus.
In most cases it is possible to just arrive at the terminal and
buy a ticket for your destination.
