Guide on how to use the Metrobus Mexico City: Tickets – prices – map – opening hours and safety tips, based on first-hand experience.
There are 7 lines, 283 stations covering a total distance of 125 km. It’s a cheap and relatively efficient way to get around Mexico City and fills in the gaps left by the Metro.
I have travelled regularly on lines 1, 3, 5 and 7, which is the newest line with double-decker buses.
I say ‘relatively efficient’ because, despite having their own dedicated MetroBus lanes, you still have to fight with the traffic.
Motorcyclists and emergency vehicles have a habit of using the bus lanes. But for me, they could have designed it slightly differently, giving higher priority to the buses.
