Owners of Guadalajara’s 180 “luxury” city buses have been told to lower their fares from 12 to seven pesos for the next two months because they do not provide the services advertised. The “de lujo” buses operate on five routes throughout the metropolitan area.
Luxury buses are obliged to offer air conditioning, televisions and soft seating, and are prohibited from taking on standing passengers.
Within the next 60 days, each company will have to demonstrate that 100 percent of the buses on their route offer the advertised services before they will again be able to charge 12 pesos.
