Public transportation in Mexico
Mexico is a large country. Fortunately, there are many ways to go from one place to
another. Buses are the main form of long-distance public transportation in Mexico.
There are modern luxury buses and also retired and old school buses that go all
around the cities and towns. However, air travel is the fastest and most convenient
way to get from one place to another, particularly if you will be covering long distances.
Taxis are common in Mexico, especially in the big cities, but they are expensive.
Mexico City has the second largest metro system in North America and offers an
excellent way to get around the city.
