Request to stop at the Paloma de la Paz roundabout. Taxis usually queue behind the bus and may board one easily. Ask the driver to take you to “IBT”; the Instituto de Biotecnología UNAM, which is located just opposite the ICF. It is important to note, if you are bringing luggage, that you should buy a bus ticket with seat numbers 1 to 4 at the ticket office.

Otherwise you will have to store your bags in the luggage compartment, and only retreive them at the terminal stop at the centre of Cuernavaca.
