"Premier First Class", "Semi-Directo", or "Local", the absolute best travel bargain in Mexico is still the first
class bus combined with the public bus systems in the cities and with the connections to the villages.  

Combine the first class bus systems with the taxis, "Colectivos" and "Camionetas", Combis,  and crossroads
collective taxis and you can reach every corner of Mexico by first class bus  and secondary service for  10-15
cents USD per mile,  

See below for explanation of levels of service and a list of stations and destinations.

Reach the villages and do it inexpensively by making use of Mexico's first class bus lines and then using the
public bus system, taxis, colectivos and camionetas in the city to reach the remote beaches and ruin sites.

Types of Bus Service
  • 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 train service ended for Mexico in 1998.  The one remaining
regularly scheduled train operates in Mexico's 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.

  • First and Second Class 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)  Estrella Roja

  • Village Buses:
Many small second class bus 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.
Bus Service   uses Brand
new Volvos and Mercedez
with comfortable, deeply
reclining  seats, seat belts,
lavatory TV, AC, (bring a

On Mexico's First Class Buses  you can visit all of Mexico while
riding in a luxury bus.   With many bus lines running modern, first
class buses from new bus stations over high speed bus routes, the
first class bus system in Mexico is an alternative to air service.
