Charlie, I haven't ridden on a Senda bus either, but I know those buses depart from the Central del Norte in Mexico City. They have executive service to Mc Allen for a little more than 900 pesos, or first class for a little less than that. You can buy your tickets ahead of time, they have a toll free number, 01-800-890-9090. The ride takes 14 hours.

There´s also another option, last December I went to San Antonio and I took a Viva Aerobus flight from Veracruz to Monterrey (you can get it VERY cheap if you plan ahead), and then on a bus from Monterrey to San Antonio. I actually took a taxi to the bus terminal, which was costly, but I think there are shuttle buses for much less. There are buses from Monterrey to Mc Allen every hour or so.

I hope this helps. (Btw, I'm in Xalapa)

Answer 3

No, I haven't ridden on the SENDA lines before.  Mostly, I have taken ADO or ADO GL from / to Mexico City.  ADO is the most reliable, cleanest & safest I have traveled, but there are some other "luxury" buslines that are comparable in quality.

Avoid the 2nd class or "chicken carrier" lines if you are traveling long distance!  It is not worth the pesos you would save over the 1st class buses.

Answer 4

I have taken Senda from Mexico City to McAllen and it leaves from Norte.  It is a very comfortable ride.  It leaves in the afternoon and arrives early the next morning.  Have a great trip.
