This kind of thing doesn´t stop us- we took buses between Mexico City, Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende, and Queretaro- but it does make us a little wary. It´s extremely rare for U.S. citizen travelers to get caught up in the cross fire here, but it can happen, it seems. Three U.S. citizens killed in Mexico attacks | Reuters
V: Usually it seems that the cartels have avoided "tourist buses" and kept their attacks on local buses. Considering that American money keeps the Narcos rich, Im surprised that they "bite the hand that feeds". Shouldnt they, out of a business perspective, stay away from international attention when it comes to violence against foreign civilians? Not much one can do IF ones bus is attacked - messed up. These people are pure evil. The Govt has a LOT to do, thats for sure.
