This is a great way to travel throughout Mexico. The buses are comfortable and they stop for bathroom and food breaks along the way. I've traveled with OCC three times now and would highly recommend it.

Friendly helpful staff, excellent drivers, on time, comfortable seat. I had a free seat next to me so that made a huge difference. The bus was a little cold, and the speaker was above my head. I won’t choose seat 1 again because behind the driver is less leg room and I’m very tall.

We experienced a 4hr delay because there was a serious accident on a narrow stretch of road so all traffic waited while casualties were removed and vehicles recovered. Absolutely nothing the bus company could have done in the circumstances. However I didn’t hear any announcements of updates to our arrival time - I worked it out because I was aware of the delay but many people were sleeping and must have wondered? It also concerned me that because of the delay, our first driver was at the wheel for over 12hrs. Is this legal in Mexico? I feel there should be some contingency plans in place for such circumstances. Not the fault of the staff, but what is company policy?
