I don't plan to visit any rural areas and will stick to dat time site seeing. Is it still worth the risk or should I change the plan.
The bus should be fine - it goes through Iguala, even, but again, the Estrella de Oro PLUSS or DIAMANTE should be perfectly fine and both cheaper and safer than driving. No worries about rental and insurance cost, breaking down or a flat tire in a dodgy area, etc.

As to cost, I take the bus between Mexico City and Cuernavaca on occasion, and iirc it might be cheaper than paying the roadway tolls.
