Mangos advice is excellent....all of it. Your enjoyment of bus ride depends on where you sit for sure particularly at night...I try to ask the bus driver for those seats but sometimes he puts you beside an obnoxious passenger (just for fun)...so I often change seats more than once but also prefer the middle right side...NOT over any tires as it is bumpier...the back is noisy and smelly...the front is noisy with people talking to the bus driver and his music. I wear earplugs and at night wear a bandana over my eyes to keep the light out too. I admit to have snuck on a New Mix roadie(tequila and squirt c-cktail in a can) and pumkin seeds to go with the movies they show! I often travel alone by bus and never had a problem.

Shari is right. You can often just change seats if you don't like the one your in. It's hard to do on crowded buses, and somebody may ask you to get out of their seat later on.. But don't stay in a seat if it's broken, dirty, or a wheel well takes up all your legroom.

Since you speak Spanish; you might find your fellow passenger next to you or across the aisle to be extra friendly, curious, and talkative. It's pretty normal; but, usually they quiet down. Older people can be interesting to sit by, and will tend to watch out for you and your stuff more than others.

If you go on ABC, the seats are assigned which makes it important to buy your ticket before the last minute. When I take the Ensenada/TJ early AM express, I buy the ticket on the day before departure.

Have a good trip.
