Passengers generally appreciated the comfortable seating and friendly, helpful drivers. Many noted that buses were clean but expressed concerns about bathroom cleanliness, with reports of overflowing toilets and lack of toilet paper being common issues. Despite these drawbacks, several users mentioned they would consider traveling again due to the overall positive experience.

The bus didn't show up, we were put on another bus that was on a regular route to Tepic which meant passengers were picked up and dropped off enroute. The bus driver was on his phone repeatedly and driving with one hand, causing me high anxiety. When we finally got to Tepic we transferred to an Elite bus to take us to Mazatlan and we're searched at the border between Jilasco and Sinaloa, looking for fruit and vegetables. Later the bus was boarded by two rude Agents who might have been looking for someone? One was wearing a balaclava covering his face. Subsequently the bus was boarded by two other Agents who seemingly were targetting white people. My husband was frisked and his wallet was gone through, my bag was searched by one of them while the other was counting my husband's cash. We got to our Resort at 4am!

The trip took way longer than advertised, four hours longer. This would not be a enti if that possible level of delay was mentioned.

Busbus told us the journey from PV to Tepic would be 2 h 17 minutes, but it was actually 3 h 30 minutes, and we missed our connection to Mazatlan.
