Most hotels and restaurants are happy to call one of the official cars (denoted by their pink and white paint colors) for you, or you could wait at the "Sitio" signs and stands located around town. Phone ahead for a taxi de sitio to ensure that you get official and safe transportation around the city. Cards in the windshield will alert you to the route, and drivers will normally hold up fingers when coming to a stop, to indicate how many empty seats there are inside. Riding the Colectivo is marginally cheaper than the Metrobús, plus it will make many of the same stops. It's also among our best tours in Mexico City.Īlso known as microbuses or peseros, colectivos are privately run green and grayish-white buses that also run along major arteries like Avenida Juárez, Paseo de la Reforma and the Chapultepec Forest. For those looking to pack in lots of sightseeing in one day, it's an affordable option (costing about $8 for adults). It departs daily from 9 or 10 a.m. Tours usually last around three hours with approximately 20 stops along the way.
The red double-decker Turibus provides commentary (available in eight languages) on various popular sights and routes throughout the city. There have been some reports of inappropriate behavior and groping toward females on the metrobús now there are also women-only buses – to ride one of those, wait at the designated platforms. To ride, you'll need to purchase a smartcard (available at vending machines in the Metro stations) the card will cost 16 pesos (or about $0.84) and rides cost 6 pesos one way (about $0.31).
These red and white buses move (quickly) in dedicated lanes along the Avenida de los Insurgentes. Like the subway, Mexico City's Metrobús is a cheap, efficient and super-crowded way to move around town.
