Misantla Transportation

In Misantla, blue and white second-class buses are sometimes slangily referred to as "totoleros." "Totol" is a local word for "turkey," so I would loosely translate "el totolero" as "the Turkey Express." On these buses passengers are allowed to carry small animals, such as a chicken, or a small pig in a sack. The totoleros are slow, making frequent stops as they travel between towns. Bus tickets are not expensive in Mexico, so first class is the best choice because it's faster, more comfortable, cleaner, and probably better smelling.
