Posts: 2777The last time I took the bus into Mexico through Nuevo Laredo, the immigration officers where ripping off the passengers. The whole bus had to pay a bribe of 400 $ otherwise immigration officers were going to have us wait for hours in the bus inspection station while they searched our bags, harass us and God know what else to us. The first clue that this was going to take place was the long bus line where we had to wait for about 3 hours just to get to the bus inspection station in Nuevo Laredo. My question is, if I know that there is a long bus line to cross into Mexico, which tells me that immigration officers in Mexico are ripping off the passengers, can I just get off the bus and walk the rest of the way across bridge 2? From there I can just take a taxi to the central bus station in Laredo and be on my way.
This is why I stopped driving or taking the bus, just too stressful and too many variables. I have no problem living on the edge, but in my opinion just too dangerous now.
I did talk to a couple of guys in MTY and they said the drive is just too dangerous, they will not do it and they work in MTY. This is before I had my issues, I thought they were being overly cautious, now I understand.

Posts: 2Boystown gone?
I have an friend from Laredo told me Boystown is gone. Not sure what he'd meant by that. Wanted to get the real facts.

Posts: 812They did the same thing on election day here in the Philippines but all bars were still open. Expats were allowed to drink just not Filipinos. In NL some of my best times ever were when the bars were closed. There still werwe girls around it just took a little more effort to look for them. That was years ago though.

I thought I was being smart taking the bus in Laredo to MTY, I was wrong. Stop at a roadblock not by the cops, but the locals. Next trip, took the early bus to avoid any drama, we'll get off the bus in Laredo. 5 or 6 guys surround a guy getting off the bus, I did not stick around to see what happened. This is why I avoid Laredo at all cost.
MTY is good, but driving or bus just too dangerous for me. I will only fly in when flights are less then $400.
