When I booked I was unaware of what I consider to be a deceptive description. I booked an origin city of Puerta Vallarta. Turns out the bus terminal was in Nueva Nayarit. When I got to bus terminal 45 minutes early I showed my ticket to sales agent & she told me where the bus would be coming in. I had a time of 3:40 & when bus did not arrive then I showed my ticket to the security person & he said bus would be there at 4. When the bus arrived at 4 I was told my ticket was not valid as that bus had already left & this bus was going to Mexico City. I then went back to original ticket & she explained to me I was at wrong terminal & I had to buy another ticket, which did & just made the 4:00 bus. So I paid twice. I’m not happy as looking at the ticket it says Puerta Vallarta when in fact the bus terminal is either in Nueva Vallarta or Nuevo Nayarit.

The bus I bought a ticket for didn’t exist. The only Pacifico bus at 9:00am was slow and didn’t go direct. It didn’t reach Guadalajara til 3am and the driver didn’t even go to Zapopan, the driver made us get out early and catch a taxi for the last part of journey.
