(14hr) at 5.30pm;

(12hr) has two first-class departures (via
Chetumal
and
Playa del Carmen
), at 5pm and 8pm, and there are a couple of overnight buses to
Mexico City
(17hr).
Tuxtla
(7hr) has first- and second-class departures at least hourly, all calling at
Ocosingo
and
San Cristobal
(5hr). ADO has plenty of buses to the main transport hub of
Villahermosa
(2hr 30min), and you may find it easier to get there and change for your onward journey.
Transportes Comitan y Lagos de Montebello, on Velasco Suarez, just past the market, has services down the Usumacinta valley for
Bonampak
, and
Frontera Corozal
(for Yaxchilan, and
