Mexico has a vast bus system of 800 bus companies that can transport you to every corner of its 32 states. Over 39,000 Mexico bus schedules offer you a variety of inexpensive travel options.

Mexico’s bus system helps you save money by avoiding expensive rental cars, save time by avoiding airport security hassles, and save vacation memories by meeting local people as you get off the beaten path.

Mexico has the largest and most efficient bus system in the world. Even Mexico business executives park their luxury cars to take an overnight bus to a distant conference so they can arrive fresh in the morning, conduct business, and then return on another overnight bus.

Mexico offers five classes of bus service, ranging from executive class (lujo) with large reclining seats comparable to airline first class, video moves and hostesses serving refreshments, to VW vans that tackle the donkey paths.

But the Mexico bus system with thousands of bus schedules can be bewildering at first. That’s because the Mexico bus companies do not provide printed bus timetables. One tourist in Mexico was even forbidden to photograph timetables posted above bus ticket counters. Contacting Mexico bus companies by telephone can be a frustrating, and very expensive, experience. Bus companies often do not have bilingual agents answering the phones.

Major travel guide books aren’t too much help. They advise you to take expensive rental cars (do you know Mexico’s travel laws, and can read Mexico’s traffic signs), and in some cases devote more space to a practically non-existant passenger train system.

The unique guide Bus Across Mexico now offers you a way to check bus schedules instantly. For only $1.99, you can get schedules to plan your Mexico vacation.

In a region watered by the Lerma irrigation works, Celaya is the center of a prosperous corn, cereal, and bean growing area in the Bajio region. Cattle raising and the associated dairy industry are also important.

Founded in 1571, Celaya was frequently involved in Mexican wars. It was the first city to be captured (Sept. 28, 1810) by Hidalgo y Costilla. In 1915, Alvaro Obregon decisively defeated Pancho Villa at Celaya.

Guanajuato has narrow, winding, steep cobblestone streets, sometimes pieced out by stone steps, and the ground underneath is honeycombed with silver-mine shafts. Its geographic position and economic importance as one of Spanish America's chief silver-producing centers gave the city a key role in the wars and revolutions that wracked Mexico in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Guanajuato has become a tourist center. There are several noteworthy colonial churches and buildings, including the Alhondiga de Granaditas, originally a granary that was besieged and captured (1810) by Hidalgo y Costilla at the outset of the war against Spain.

Guanajuato is a national monument and a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Leon was officially founded in 1577. Formerly called Leon de los Aldama.
