Just thought I'd add a review from the perspective of a "gringo"…read more I have used all three classes of ADO between Puebla and Oaxaca. The Platino service is the most expensive but the bus will blow your mind. The seats are so wide there are only three across and each one has a monitor with a great selection of movies in almost any language you can think of. The only problem is that there are not many Platino buses so I have only been able to take it once. The buses in the other two classes put the "dog" to shame. They are clean and comfortable. At first glance the two classes of bus look the same but the GL service gives you a little more leg room which I like because I am 6'3" tall but I would not hesitate using the standard first class bus. A hint for people like me who can speak a little Spanish but can't understand the public address system at the bus station. When I get by the departure gate I find a Mexicano who is taking the same bus as me and let them know I can't understand the announcements. The people are always great about making sure I get on the right bus. If you have never taken a first class inter-city bus in Mexico you will be shocked at how nice they are compared to the buses in the USA.

We wanted to see how the people of Mexico live, eat, travel; not how tourist travel. Well...we…read morefound out with the bus! It was crowded but it was clean and efficient. People were pleasant, patient and the buses were top notice Volvos! They run right on time too! We had some confusion when our bus was to leave and as a consequence we had a 2 hour wait but then lots of people had wait! The seats were big and comfortable, had a movie going for trip too!

This is the nicest terminal I've seen across all continents and with really nice staff! Tickets can be bought onsite, but to skip the lines, buy ahead of time at Aeropuertoer.com. It's in Spanish, but you can figure out what it's asking. International credit cards work. Just remember to put your FULL (incl middle) name where it says "nombre" - otherwise you can't complete your purchase. My friend doesn't have a middle name and had to make up a middle initial. This is not the same as the input field for your name for the credit card (don't make up names for that) - just a first and last name will do for that one. They then show you your ticket; screenshoot that, and voila :) Once you get to the station, you can go through either of the two security check lines. The one on the left is for the people with carry-on luggages; the right for those with backpacks/duffel bags. The luggages (maletas) will go on the bottom of the bus. Very clean facilities (read: bathrooms in the terminal), complete with complimentary espresso/Americano in the waiting area. They also have paper bags at the gate with water and cookies for the bus! Totally the way to travel to and from CDMX!

This bus service runs buses from Mexico City to Puebla, departing about every 15-20 minutes. The…read morebuses are clean, comfortable, have air conditioning, and some even have bathrooms. The bus runs from TAPO in Mexico City to CAPU in Puebla, the bus station which is about a twenty minute drive from the Zocalo area. My gripe is that when I was in Mexico City, I purchased return tickets from Puebla to Mexico City. The tickets were printed on flimsy receipt paper, and when it came time to use the tickets a few days later, they were faded and the clerk couldn't quite make out the number to verify that I hadn't forged the tickets, or wasn't pulling some scheme. So they made me purchase new tickets, at the rate of about $8USD each. I wasn't happy. There are two classes of buses, as far as I could tell. One is first class- with a bathroom, and non-stop service. They even showed a movie. The economy class didn't show a movie, had no restroom, and made several stops along the way.

A beaten up, worn down bus station on the edge of town. I…read morehad to come through here thanks to Estrella Roja, the local bus company that runs from Mexico City to Puebla. For some reason, they won't take you to 4 Points Bus Station, they take you to this place that's about a twenty minute cab ride to the center of town. This place has seen better days. It's a big bus station, but the floors are cracked and dirty. There's plenty of space, but little places to sit if you're waiting for someone to come in. The exits are not marked clearly, and in order to get to the street, you have to find your way through the streets packed with aggressive cab drivers and past a fence that keeps the riff-raff out. The waiting areas are nice enough, and there are places to get some grub, like Subway. Why someone would eat Subway in Puebla, Mexico, I'll never know, but it's there if you're tired of the gastronomic capital of Central America. I was terribly frustrated with Estrella Roja, but that's not really CAPU's fault, I suppose. They did manage to get us in and out of there with relative ease.
