If I were to take a bus (I never say never), I would want to go in the daytime. Related to taking the planes, I never worry about it. However in the rainy season, I only fly on the morning flight. Usually the mornings are nice and flying in the Panama rain is something I prefer not doing. Pearl - Everyone typically complains about how cold it is on the buses.

At the time I was not aware of this site or it may have detered us from doing so after reading some of these comments. However like you said I suppose we are playing Panama Roulete. The ride was okay we slept most of the way. The only complaint that we thought at the time was the air conditioning it was so cold we almost froze. We are back in Panama this July and we was planning on taking the bus again but preferably in the day. We may rethink this journer. However I don't like the small planes either.

Also the shoulders on all the roads leave a little to be desired. If you get over on a shoulder you are asking for an accident. Accidents at night are more likely than in the daytime, but they happen at all hours of the day. Happy to hear that it was the bus after yours.

The driver who at the time was 45 minutes behind my bus managed to lose control. This was in the daytime with light on and off rain. Gives one pause.

There is material for a whole book.
