Mexico City offers direct Metrobús service from airport to Centro Histórico
The Mexico City Government has inaugurated a Metrobús direct service from the city’s Benito Juárez International Airport to its downtown Centro Histórico. The buses runs every 20 minutes from 4:30 am until Midnight. Metrobús Line 4 will operate along designated bus lanes to offer fast and efficient service between the airport and downtown area. The buses run on clean-burning fuel, offering an environmentally-friendly form of urban transport.
Visitors arriving at Mexico City’s international air terminal (Terminal 1) can board the Metrobús between gates 6 and 7. Visitors arriving at Terminal 2 can board on the Ground Floor near the taxi rank. Vending machines in both terminals are available to purchase a boarding card. The vending machines accept only Mexican pesos. The fare is MXP$30.00 – considerably less than the price of a private taxi.
Metrobús Line 4 will take travelers directly to some of the city’s most important historic sites, including the Zócalo square, Metropolitan Cathedral, Templo Mayor, Garibaldi Square and the Reforma business district.
Metrobús is a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system that has significantly reduced air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in the world’s second largest city. The network carries more than 500,000 passengers per day, and is the result of a successful collaboration among several public and private institutions including the Government of Mexico City, EMBARQ (The World Resources Institute Center for Sustainable Transport) and CEIBA (a Mexican NGO). Metrobús received the 2009 Roy Family Award for Environmental Partnership from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
Enjoy a safe, fast and comfortable ride on Metrobús Line 4 during your next visit to Mexico City. read more
