I will not use aguacaliente again because there was no ticket given for luggage. Several people got off before Tijuana and could have easily stolen my suitcase.

I had to sleep in the bus station. Super bad experience, missed my flight also. They sold me a bus ticket for a departure time that didn't exist. Horrible and no phone number to call
