The best buses are in Brasil.
The worst are in Bolivia.

The ones in Cuba aren't too good either. Try Havana - Trinidad in heavy
rain: you'll need an umbrella up inside the bus! On the way back to
Havana the bus got a puncture after hitting the central reservation
kerb. Took two hours to change one bald tyre for another using a very
heavy driver swinging on the end of scaffolding poles on the wheel nut
wrench!

Some in Bolivia don't even have a roof.

So I'm told by my eldest who went there last year. She did keep away
from the road of death cut into the mountains side!...

Among others like it perhaps a parachute might be more use then a
roof;!...

We have travelled quite extensively in Bolivia and elsewhere in S
America. Great place.

Was it you who stole the rooves off the busses then?

Heh Heh.
You can get an indication of how interesting a buses destination in
South America is by the bus.

Normal buses...somewhat interesting.

Bus with truck chassis...interesting.

Bus with no roof (converted truck, plank seats)....extremely
interesting.
If it rains, there is a tarpaulin everybody gets underneath.

You really need a trans Andes trip in the latter for a good holiday.
