Great ride with a great driver. Only problem was not knowing the bus left from an alternative depot. We had to get a taxi and just made it to our bus. My lack of good Spanish was the problem

The bus driver did not want to load my bags on the bus because I had an internet printed ticket rather than the pink slip given at the ticket counter. That was stressful.
