Luxurious bus with reclining seats, movable head rests, USB port, bag/coat hook, moveable window blinds and curtains, super clean and even nice flooring!
I enjoyed that the bus was very much on time, but the footroom is just too small for me, especially when the person in the seat in front of me leaned back. But at least there was no movie!:)
Trip took almost 8 hours, only stopped once for ten minutes at the side of a dirty lay-by. No WiFi the whole trip, which was one of the main reasons I booked this type of bus. Not impressed
The driver was rude when we stopped for literally not even the time to go to the toilet. He was driving like crazy going all the way to the right of the street to let other trucks pass. I felt terrible and thought we would fall down the canyon. Horrible experience. Would not recommend to friends
The seats were comfortable and staff was friendly. There was very loud music/audio playing for the first two hours which was very unpleasant and difficult to block out with headphones. Also, the email said seats were not assigned and upon freely choosing a seat, another customer insisted it was their seat based on their ticket. Very confusing and misleading. The bus was also late arriving.
We were directed to the wrong bus gate by ADO staff at the massive bus station so missed the bus by a couple of minutes and made to pay for another ticket for a bus 3.5 hours later. Staff were not kind about it :(
The lateness was not ADO's fault, there was an accident in the highway and traffic problems in Mexico City. We didn't like the constant TV playing, would have liked some periods of quiet.
Very comfortable ride….and smooth. The driver was courteous and friendly. The staff person checking in the luggage in the hold was very thorough and professional, as also the staff person bringing out the luggage and giving it back to us.
We paid for a ticket and selected a seat. When the passenger arrived at the bus early he was told he could not board because the bus was full and would have to buy a new ticket!
We arrived in Oaxaca 2.5 hours late. We got stuck in traffic due to the festival happening and we asked to just leave the bus and we were told no. We missed the festival which we purposefully came to Oaxaca to see.
The bus is great. I had some difficulty locating the bus station: there are multiple other stations for different buses and the high ways around the bus station is confusing. Other than that, the bus is reliable, the staff are polite and helpful, the over experience is great!
The bus was late as it was the end of a public holiday so traffic was bad, however it did not take this into account when giving the original predicted destination time
Wonderful bus with great seats, surprised there wasn’t a bathroom or bathroom breaks during the trip however. With that said, all in all, pleasantly surprised!
I would have preferred a longer lunch stop. Among the many options maybe they should have one that is a little more relaxed. A 10 minute pause is not much on a 6 hour trip.
Honestly this was a horrible experience. I will never travel with ADO again after this… if this is the type of service provided for “luxury” I am in disbelief.
The buses are very comfortable and spacious. However, for some reason (the driver only spoke Spanish, so I don't know why) the lights were turned on several times during the ride so sleeping was difficult
