There was no toilet, no tv/ movie. Just 12+ hours with 1 and a half stops crazy experience. Was the worst ride I’ve had yet in Mexico. Absolutely no internet. Then just dropped off at the side of the road. Terrible experience. The driver had to do everything himself. 3 jobs at once. With only a 15 min stop all the way.

Good effort but I hope for more next time. The busses should have bathrooms and the AC doesn't need to be on full blast all night.

Worse journey of my life, very uncomfortable, toilets were disguisting and smelly, sitting in front of them I smelled it stench all journey. paid over 600 pesos to sit in such a conditions.
