Do Long Distance Busses Use Hwy 3 Ensenada/San Felipe?
I imagine the answer is no, at least at the
current time, any info?
thanks for your time
I know the Hwy 3 from Ensenada to San Felipe
has always been rough a best, I suppose the
ABC Bussess out of TJ will go east to Mexicalli
down to SF

I've never seen a passenger bus, ABC etc, on #3. Lots of beer trucks....no buses.
I don't know about the stretch from Tecate to SF. I think that's #2 anyway.

I believe I have seen them on Mex-3 between Mex-1 and Tecate, however, if anyone knows different I'll just blame my memory on a senior moment. Jim

I saw a robin's egg blue bus heading north on Mex. 3 about an hour south of Tecate a few weeks ago. Sorry, but forgot the name of it.
When the way comes to an end, then change. Having changed, you pass through.

There are two Federal Hwy. 3's in Mexico
The original goes fro Tecate to El Sauzal (Ensenada).
The other (Ensenada to Mex. 5, north of San Felipe) used to be Baja Norte State Hwy. #16... Until a short time after the state finished the paving
(early 1978), then the feds took it over and called it also Mex. Hwy. 3!
Now the OP asked about the Ensenada to San Felipe part of Hwy. 3, yet he is getting info on the Ensenada to Tecate part...???
Dennis, Hwy. 2 is Tijuana to Mexicali to San Luis, Sonora and on.
The few times I have been on the San Felipe to Ensenada Hwy. 3 I don't recall seeing any ABC type busses.
