Bus service was good - BUT, I would like to humbly suggest that one stop for 20 minutes on a 6-hour bus trip with no onboard bathroom is too much. Two fifteen minute stops at locations with clean restrooms is reasonable. The bus stops many times to pick people up and drop off and does so efficiently. But all of those traveling the full six hours must have been uncomfortable. I don't think I was the only one who had coffee yesterday. As my father said "my back teeth were floating". Comfort in this category is essential. I probably would not take the bus again for this reason alone.
Comment in Spanish: El servicio de autobús fue bueno, pero humildemente, una parada de 20 minutos en un viaje de 6 horas sin baño a bordo es demasiado. Dos paradas de 15 minutos en lugares con baños limpios son razonables. El autobús para muchas veces para recoger y dejar pasajeros, y lo hace eficientemente. Pero todos los que viajaron las seis horas completas debieron sentirse incómodos. No creo haber sido el único que tomó café ayer. Como dijo mi padre, "tenía las muelas del juicio flotando". La comodidad en este caso es esencial. Probablemente no volvería a tomar el autobús solo por esta razón.
