Boarding was chaotic and took a very long time, so the bus ran more than half an hour late. The journey itself was ok I suppose.

Maybe the arrival time to Acapulco was listed wrong. I don’t know if it was really late. Everything else was fine; except traveling with my service animals was difficult. I’ll know what to do next time.
