Albuquerque->Mexico by Bus

I live just south of Albuquerque on the road to
Juarez, and have seen all the following buslines
pass by over the last month.<p>Americanos USA 505-842-0316 1730 Central Av. SW<p>El-Paso LA Limousine Exp. 505-247-8036
1611 Central Avenue NW<p>Golden States 505-224-2833 901 Sunset Road SW<p>Greyhound 505-243-4435 (national 800-231-2222)
300 Second St. SW (there is a user-hostile
Web site, www.greyhound.com - good luck)<p>Local telephone numbers and station addresses are
taken from last year's phone directory for Abq.<p>Except for Greyhound, these have a very low Web
profile - you will have to call for info. You
will win their hearts if you call in Spanish.
These buslines primarily serve local hispanics
returning to Mexico for a visit, and have been
known to be openly hostile and non-cooperative
to English speaking Anglos. On occasion I have
had to place a call to the Interstate Commerce
Commission which reminds the buslines of their licensing requirements - they are MUCH more cooperative then for a few days!<p>My personal choice among them is the El Paso-
Los Angeles Limousine Express, a busline despite
the highclass title. Their departures were at
11 AM, 3:15 PM, 5:30 PM; they connect at their
own terminal in El Paso (720 Oregon, at the base
of the Stanton Street "Good Neighbor" bridge)
with buses continuing directly on to Chihuahua.
You will NOT pass through the Juarez zoo of a
bus terminal - a good thing in my opinion. Be
sure to have your tourist visa in hand - the bus
will not stop for you to get it. Your schedule
may dictate that you use a different busline;
some continue across the border now without a
change of bus, a decided convenience. Be sure to
ask when you re-confirm ALL information for the
time of your trip.<p>Hope this gives you a jump-start.<p>Elliott Moore
