Getting Around Mexico City

# Getting Around Mexico City Mexico City offers multiple transportation options for visitors. The Metro system provides extensive coverage throughout the city, while Metrobús (bus rapid transit) serves major corridors. Taxis and ride-hailing services operate citywide. The city also has a suburban train system (Tren Suburbano) connecting certain areas. First-time visitors should note that Mexico City is a large metropolitan area with varying traffic conditions. The Metro uses a symbol system at each station, which helps non-Spanish speakers navigate. Having small bills for public transport is generally useful, as exact change may be needed. **Airport Connection:** Mexico City International Airport (AICM/MEX) connects to the city through several options.
