Most people traveling long distances in Mexico by bus do not like the idea of losing an entire day to bus travel.

The busses are very large and benefit from less traffic (not to mention their size), they have very experienced drivers (as opposed to us when we drive there at night), and the busses are equipped with GPS positioning keeping the bus company aware of where they are (as well as preventing speeding and unsafe driving).
