Bus Travel Mexico,
List Of First Class Bus Lines and Bus Service
"Premier First Class", "Semi-Directo", or "Local", the  Mexico
bus system can be confusing.  
Premier First Class Directo is the best ride but you can combine
these systems with the public bus systems in the cities and with the
collective taxis, combis, and  camionettas to get anywhere  you want
in Mexico.

  • Segunda Clase:  
Second Class Bus, This is the
second class bus and will most
often leave from a different
terminal than the First Class,
usually in the older section of
downtown perhaps near an old
train station.  (Passenger trains no
longer operate in Mexico except
Copper Canyon)  

Second class service breaks
down further into:

  • Directo:
Directo is supposed to make few
stops in a station to station
fashion but seldom does, although
it does not stop at every way
station through the mountains or
along the coast.
Semi-Directo Makes more
frequent but limited stops

  • Ordinario
Ordinario is a local bus although it
may travel for fifty to a hundred
miles. It is very inexpensive but will
make frequent stops.

Segunda Clase Bus Lines:
Estrella Blanca is one of the lines
covering the coastal area with first
class buses that might leave from
a second class terminal Other
second class service. Flecha
Amarilla,  (Except Primera Plus)

  • Village Buses:
Many small second class lines
serve the villages from the
second class terminal.  Mexico
is mountainous country to the
extreme and often a bus will
make one trip in to the village
and then park for the night to
return to the city the following
day.
