Not shown: two double panels of The Rolling Stones on stage, a BIG gigantography covering all the roof (from the inside) of Maradona, and a lot of small curtains and trinkets of Boca Juniors in the front.

Best one I can remeber? The dude with a fake "minibar" of alcoholic beverages next to the drivers seat, and a LOT of fluffy interiors, like you know teddy bears with long "hair" ? Yeah that but blue, everywhere. And carved mirrors, these dudes love carved mirrors for some reason.

Also frequent: little and not so little fucking altars to a miriad of small deities like saints or Gauchito Gil, Gilda, Difunta Correa, Maradona, etc

      It's true of I believe everywhere where buses are concessioned to private companies, so I believe most everywhere outside of Mexico City, Guadalajara and possibly Monterrey. Since buses outside of cities are managed (and I use that word loosely) by private companies with little oversight from the government, drivers can pimp the fuck out of their buses/vans, to the point of installing dark lights and high end speaker systems and transform them into literal party buses. Within cities, transport is administered by the government itself, particularly in Mexico City, so no pimped out buses there.
