Users have noted that the seats on the bus are comfortable and offer ample legroom, enhancing their travel experience. While there was a slight delay in arrival due to extended stops, this did not detract significantly from overall satisfaction. The bumpy ride attributed to road conditions is beyond the company's control.

ADO GL San Cristóbal de las Casas Oaxaca recent customer reviews

The coach ride was fine, the seats were very comfortable. The fact that the roads need revamping and that as a consequence we found the ride very bumpy which made it rather impossible for us to sleep at all is neither the fault of the driver or of the condition of the coach.

The bus was on time leaving though a bit late in arriving. We spent too long sitting in Tuxtla.

My bus was supposed to arrive in Oaxaca at 9am - it is now 3pm and I am still on the bus. We were left on the side of the road for almost 9 hours and the replacement bus was of a much lower quality
