Bus transport

Why don't we have more bus transport in Canada - the only thing we have is Greyhound at incredibly high prices and with essentially no comfort.. Nothing like in Mexico: here are long distance buses all the way to Phoenix or Tuscon, very comfortable (lying down!!) and affordable.

Rick and I once went to Colima from Mexico City - a very pleasant and comfortable ride overnight. If the Mexicans can provide these type of services at reasonable cost, why can not we in Canada??

Anyway, over Christmas/New Year Mazatlan was inundated with huge touring buses coming from interior locations such as Durango in the mountains where at this time of year it gets to be rather cold: Thousands of locals came to enjoy a few days of beach-side fun and shopping.

And as far as city transportation is concerned, we are doing very well here because of numerous buslines and frequent services. here at Punta Cerritos, some 15 or so km from center of Mazatlan, we have 2 or 3 lines terminating which are running every 5 min or so, one even air conditioned, transporting you at the cost of some 60 or 70 cents per ride, independent of distaqnce. No transfers, though. So, even without having your own vehicle, I can zip to toan quickly any time - until maybe 8 pm in the evening.
