The road was closed and we didn't find out until half way through our journey and had to wait around and then take an additional bus which added 15 hours to the trip

Was a pretty comfortable bus plenty of leg room and able to put the seat back a decent amount. Every stop in the middle of the night the lights came on so broke up my sleep a bit but was still able to get a good few hours. Would recommend if going from oaxaca to San cristobal.
