Land Transportation
In Mexico, almost every city and town has at least one bus station, and some buses go to different cities or states within the country.
Local buses travel within cities and from urban areas to surrounding communities. You can also travel by buses (small buses).
In some parts of Mexico, taxis do not have taximeters. We advise you to tell the driver your destination before boarding. That way he will inform you of the price of the trip. Preferably, use the UBER and/or Didi applications for travel within cities.
The main cities have a subway system that serves to transport the population more quickly and at a low cost. Mexico City has a great subway system that goes practically everywhere within the city.
