Buses in Central America are not like in Britain, you don't form an orderly queue waiting to pay the driver and then take a seat and the bus tends to leave at a scheduled time, not waiting until it is totally crammed. As anywhere buses can vary greatly, we went on air conditioned coaches which showed movies dubbed in Spanish in Mexico, however, at the other end of the scale we went on colectivos in Guatemala which practically had people sitting on other's laps.
I'm definitely seeing Megabus in a new light on this Central America trip. The buses have already made an impact on Katrina.
How stressful! We had the same in Vietnam, from lovely air con buses to people sitting on our laps and blasting karaoke! Hope it gets better x
It’s all part of the charm really. Getting used to it but I just won’t complain about my Dad’s buses when I get home.
