That sounds rather irrational of them. Also, not what the NYT reported.
- foogazi 3y agoHow I heard it reported before is students in that part of Mexico have the custom of commanding buses for free rides to nearby towns Local cartels know and use students to smuggle drugs, weapons, people on these rides Police and another local cartel were aware buses coming into their turf

- MaxfordAndSons 3y agoYea idk, I think that version is an attempt at a (pathetic) post hoc justification for the crime (not saying it was made up by gp, but rather the cartels or their apologists). I had read that they were public municipal buses, which I guess could conceivably be used for smuggling, but would seem like an odd choice, as it doesn't seem like they would have much need to "smuggle" within the the municipality where they already operate with impunity, and driving the buses out of the territory would seem impractical/surreptitious.
