Buses--Guanajuato, Cuernavaca, guadalajara
 
I'll be in Mexico for 3 weeks starting mid-December. I'll be taking the bus between cities. Is there a way of taking a fast, first class or deluxe bus from Guanajuato to Cuernavaca without going through D.F.(Queretaro, maybe)? Do you know which lines?

Also, are there direct buses from Cuernavaca to Guadalajara?

I've traveled by bus a lot in Mexico, but have never been to Cuernavaca. I'd like to avoid having to change bus terminals in D.F.

I've been trying to look at schedules for the various bus companies, but not having much luck with their links and caledars.

I've taken the bus from the airport to Cuernavaca a couple of times. Is it possible that you can get a bus that goes to/from the airport? You might also check about going to Toluca and then on to Cuernavaca.

Thank you,
Yes I'm just learning about a direct bus from Queretaro to the DF airport.

Does anyone have info on that? I'm trying to figure out if it makes sense to go from Guanajuato and change buses in Queretaro. Does anyone know the frequency of the bus from Queretaro to the DF airport?

Do you know how frequently the bus runs from the airport to Cuernavaca and how long it takes?

Thanks again.

Pulman de Morales buses take around 1 1/2 hours depending on traffic. Schedule below. I recall that they run hourly. Doing a quick search it looks like they are more frequent than that:

Mexico City Airport to Cuernavaca Monday - Sunday:
Leaving daily from the Mexico City Airport:
06:40, 07:15, 08:00, 08:30, 9:00, 9:30, 10:00, 10:40, 11:20, 12:00, 12:40, 13:20, 13:40, 14:00, 14:30, 15:00, 15:40, 16:10, 16:40, 17:40, 18:00, 18:20, 18:40, 19:20, 20:00, 20:40, 21:10, 21:40, 22:10, 22:50, 23:30

Also the comment above about going from Toluca to Cuernavaca. First class you go to Mexico City. 2nd class is one of the most scenic rides I have taken in Mexico, but it is long, slow and windy on very narrow roads in the mountains at some points.

Thanks, Dude.
That's helpful. Yeah, i was looking at Google satellite maps and the terrain looks amazing between Cuernavaca and Toluca. But, unfortunately not the way to start a trip from Cuernavaca to Guadalajara (9 hours At best)or get anywhere in a hurry.
