Como se llama el autobus? What is a bus called?
In Tijuana the large, regular size bus is "la mula" but a small one is "la calafia." Extra points for an essay on Calafia.

Here, in Guaymas, Sonora the city buses are called camions and the highway buses are autobuses. Sheesh we would never be able to ask for a bus up there.
ReplyDeleteThe real words here are the same but Tijuanenses have a language all their own as well. There is a Tijuana/Spanish dictionary published. Examples: a Tijuanense is also called here a Chilango lite; Gossip, chisme, is also cheeseburger; instead of que onda you hear que hongo; and of course there is the ever popular guey.
ReplyDeleteLet me say "muchas felicidades y gracias" thanks for show the best part of our city, we need these kind of web sites. And also I would like to mention a correction, in TJ we don't call "mulas" to the big busses, we call them "Burras" you can verify this with the people in TJ. Again, congratulations and thanks.
