I think that's more true of Central America than Mexico. Mexican urban or transit buses outside of the big cities such as DF or Guadalajara are usually Dina or Mercedes front-engine shorties based on a MD truck chassis, with locally-made bodies by Busscar and other manufacturers. Pretty they ain't, but they do the job perfectly well. In the biggest cities you'll find modern transit buses from all the European makers, as good and up-to-date as anything you'll see in Western Europe; Mexico City even has some double-articulated Volvos! It's actually rare to see any ex-USA buses at all in Mexico, either school buses or long-distance buses, but there are some older American school and transit buses in Tijuana (complete with hand-painted whitewall tires!) on local services there; I did see an MC9 one time in rural Guanajuato state and an Eagle at Tijuana's Central Camionera on a night service to somewhere in Baja, but they're the only US buses I've recently seen in MX in long-distance service.
Yep, there's room in my driveway on the other side from Mobi. I'm uphill from Reno. 5 over thru the forest shortly after you get to California to 395 is better than 5 and 80 to get there from Oregon. You need a good tranny to tow over the mountains though.
I definitely wouldnt try to tow one bus with another.. its illegal in many states as it exceeds the 65 foot total length rule that many states have for non-semi trucks.. if I do this im just gonna drive it ..
