I got from and to where I needed to on time. The only thing is that there was no sign which gate was going to Oaxaca, and if the man didn't run around shouting Oaxaca for 5 minutes I would have missed the bus. The TAPO in general is also not well signposted in general if you are coming by train. I ended up at the metro bus station, but that isn't AU fault. Bus was clean and crazy cold. I personally thought the price was too high for the ticket on this style of bus, but there was nothing wrong with the bus journey at all. I really like that they had a ticket system for luggage.

Service was good. Bus was clean. We got there safely but far from on time. We were told 430 arrival. How about 630!

Journey was more or less on time. Bad thing: the tv that was playing spanish dubbed movies out loud (very loud). Everyone is on their own phone with earbuds in. Really need for a movie on those screens. Especially with the sound on. Otherwise nice journey.

disaster, we asked multiple boarding staff about our 23.59 bus to Oaxaca,we arrived at 23.00. even told to wait when it was delayed, we ended up missing our bus. there was another ado bus to Oaxaca at 23.59 that was not platinum, very confusing for the staff and us. no one checked our tickets, and we were told we had to pay for another platinum ticket half price each, so another £60 to get a later bus. with 1 minute to spare! and they were not apologetic.

The seats were very comfortable and spacious. I felt safe in the overnight bus as a solo traveler. The lounge was nice coming into oaxaca, however in the platino lounge in mexico city TAPO there were no additional refreshments in the lounge. I would highly recommend this service.

It was the weekend before Christmas, so I suspect lots of busses were running late, but we didn't get into Oaxaca until around 10pm. We were scheduled to arrive at 5:30. Otherwise the bus and staff were great.

We were meant to be on a bus taking 6hrs 5mins from Mexico City airport to Oaxaca. An hour in and we had done a convoluted loop back to the airport…. No explanation?? We got to our destination after an 8hr 20min ride - so 30 % late!!

The route was completely different from the booking, rather than arriving at 12:30pm we arrived after 5pm with an extra stop and considerable delays, and our final destination was not the stop in the original agenda.
