Taxis in Mexico City<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOther Options to Get from the Airport to City Center<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Of course, you can find other methods to reach the city center from the airport. You can generally find cheaper ones than taxis, making them a much better option. Here are some of them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
From the airport’s terminal one, you can find a bus system that you can use to get into the city’s center. To do so, find the Line Four of the bus system. You can find these buses in both terminals one and two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike taxis, buses aren’t available 24 hours a day. Generally, they only run from around 4:30 AM until midnight, and one bus departs the airport with 15 minutes intervals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To ride a bus, you’ll need to buy a Metrobus smartcard. You can find one at the filling machines at the airport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A one-way bus fare is cheaper at around 30 MXN (around 2 USD). If you’re not heading to the city center, you’ll find buses at the airport heading to other parts of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bus transportation is generally ideal if you are on a budget and only have a little luggage. However, you’ll find it better to hail a cab if you have several pieces of luggage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Subway or Metro<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The subway or metro is another affordable option if you go to the city properly from the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can take Metro Line Five into the city from the A\u00e9rea station, next to Terminal One. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A single 50-minute journey costs less than fifty cents, making it a highly economical mode of transportation. As such, it’s cheaper than a bus and way cheaper than a taxi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You’ll find a specialized Metro carriage and women-only cabs in the city if you’re a solo female traveler. You can use this to ensure safer travel and exploring in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keep an eye on your valuables when you use public transportation so you won’t be caught off guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Car Rental<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Now, if you’re driving a rental car, you’ll find it easy to go to the city center from the airport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On your way out of the airport, follow the signs pointing to Route 1. Upon reaching Parque Aguascalientes, take Route 3 left until you reach H\u00e9roe de Nacozari, then turn right. Once you reach the Republic of Venezuela, you’ll be in Mexico City’s Centro Historico. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While we don’t recommend renting a car if you’re only exploring Mexico City, you’ll find plenty of car rental companies in the airport if you’d like a car to explore. Some of them are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
