Two bus companies operate on this route: ADO GL and OCC
ADO is the most popular bus company in Mexico. For this route, you can book the ADO GL bus, which offers semi-reclining seats, extra legroom and separate toilets. You’ll also have access to reading lights, shared entertainment screens, USB ports and power outlets for added convenience.
OCC is also a sub-branch of ADO. It offers standard first-class buses with basic features like AC, reclining seats and an onboard restroom.
You can expect the bus to make a few stops for food and bathroom breaks, so take advantage of these to stretch your legs.
Since the journey takes 13h - 13h 30m, we recommend choosing ADO GL. For the extra comfort, it's well worth the price.
