Taking a bus from Laredo, Tx. or McAllen, Tx to Monterrey
There are two bus services our patients have used and found to be satisfactory. Call them please and find out how much they charge, address, etc.
Laredo
Grupo Senda (956) 729-8639
McAllen
1-Grupo Senda - 956-994-8824 and 25
Or
2-Noreste Busline - 956-664-1561
The buses run hourly more less from Mc Allen and Laredo to MTY
Come to the Main Central Bus Station located in Colon St. which is only 5 mins. drive from the hotel and it is better if you take a taxi right outside of the building (not in the street, there are taxis right outside of the building inside of the perimeter of the bus station)..you will pay no more than $5.00 dlls. and it will be faster than waiting for our driver as the bus station is crowded and it takes a while to find each other.
