We left late about 30 minutes late and arrived very late by 2 hours. I don’t k is why the trip took 5 hours when they said it would be 3 hours. I don’t mind but it’s very misleading. A man came on the bus at one stop to sell snacks. The security had to take him off. The ride was not the smoothest and the driver used the horn a lot. In the end we got there safely but my experiences on buses were a lot better in Mexico compared to today.
