TUFESA's buses vary based on what service the customer opts for. If you buy a basic economic ticket on the standard "Plus" service, you will most likely ride a Volvo 9700 Luxury. If you buy a higher-class ticket, you'll get an Irizar i6 coach. TUFESA also operates a parcel shipping service called TUFESA Paqueteria. It is used to ship packages that are too big to be classified as travel luggage. Packages shipped by TUFESA Paqueterias are put into the luggage compartments of buses headed to the package's destination.
