That's a shame. My wife and I were in Mexico last month and we were struck by the incredibly comfortable and efficient Mexican bus system.
As far as we could tell, 10 to 20 bucks gets you a clean, smooth trip to just about any major city in the country, with a bad dubbed American movie to watch along the way if you're so inclined.
I gave up on Greyhound long ago: It's dirty, it's not that cheap, there are too many stops, and half the rides have some belligerent drunk bugging everyone. Fuck that.
