Luggage limit on Colombian buses?
Does anyone know if this luggage limit is accurate? http://www.bolivariano.com.co/corporativo/preguntas-frecuentes?page=1
Todo viajero tiene derecho a transportar como equipaje libre permitido, 15 kilos y/o 80cm de volumen. Si excede estos límites, debe cancelar aforo con el personal encargado de envíos de Bolivariano.
That just seems like a really small limit, especially compared to when I bused in Mexico and people seemed to be moving their entire estates by bus.

The limit exists but is rarely enforced, never had a problem with several pieces of luggage

How much luggage can you take on bus?
Added up (length + width + height), check-in bags should be no larger than 62 inches or 158 centimeters. The typical size of the overhead compartment in buses is 9x16x20 inches (22.8\xd740.5\xd750.8 cm). So, bringing a small suitcase along as a carry-on bag weighing no more than 25 lbs (12 kg) is perfectly fine.Can you take suitcases on buses?
