Question

About how much is a bus ticket from Puerto Vallarta to Matamoros?

Answer 1

US$110 (1,181 MXN) to US$125 (1,342 MXN)

Probably it will not be possible or at least not convenient to find a bus that starts in PV and finishes in Matamoros.

The most flexible itinerary is to go:

P. Vallarta =>Guadalajara 5 hours (405 pesos with ETN)

Guadalajara=>Monterrey 12 hours (699 pesos with ETN bus lines great service)

Monterrey=>Matamoros 5 hours (238 pesos w/Futura bus Lines, take any one)

TTL 1,342 pesos

Connections in Monterrey and Guadalajara are superb so you can do it on the fly no problem.

At 10.7 pesos per dollar that's a total of US$125, and all the food you buy in the stations along the way, plus local taxis or city buses on either end.  Between Guadalajara and Monterrey you can also take Turistar Ejecutivo lines, better reclining chairs but not as nice in general as ETN in my experience and the same price.  Either way, it is worth the executive service if that will be a red-eye and you want some sleep.  Otherwise, a bus line like Estrella Blanca or Omnibus de Mexico normal price is 538 for GDL=>MTY segment instead of the 699, 161 pesos cheaper...

Have fun - that is quite a workout.  Wish we could just switch places!!!
