How Do You Bus From Mexico City To Oaxaca?

Oaxaca, a beautiful colonial city, can easily be reached by bus from Mexico City. Nestled between three valleys, Oaxaca has average daytime temps in the 70s and 80s. Night temps are in the 50s and 60s. Oaxaca has a large market, Mercado de Albastos. This is where you can get 2nd class buses to nearby villages noted for handicrafts. A smaller market is Benito Juarez Market. For special snacks, try "chapilines" which we call grasshoppers. Go to Mexico City TAPO Central de Autobuses (Autobooses) on the east side. Travel by taxi, or if you only have a light carry-on bag, by Metro (subway). Find ticket counter and purchase ticket. This is a 6-hour trip, so consider a night bus so you'll arrive in the morning. Bus lines are executive class UNO, deluxe class ADO GL, first class ADO, and first class OCC. These companies will probably use the same ticket counter. UNO may have a separate ticket county. Tickets are priced in pesos. Mexico uses the dollar sign ($) for pesos, so don't be alarmed ...  more
