Its always difficult when a timezone splits a region in two that should naturally function at the same time and this week Mexico’s senate approved Bahia De Banderas and Puerto Vallarta to have the same time zone. Here is the artilce from VirtualVallarta:
Mexico’s Senate approved the amendments to the Mexican Schedule System that will allow Bahía de Banderas and Puerto Vallarta to share the same time zone, such that both will soon be governed by Central time.This initiative was prompted by Nayarit Senator Raul Mejia who filed it on December 13, 2007, for analysis.
According to Senator Raul Mejia, residents of our neighboring municipality are affected on their daily life and economic activity by the time difference between them and our city. The time change will become effective once it is published in the Mexican Official Gazette.
