Mexico City’s Aerotrén is restricted to eligible connecting passengers and crew, while a public bus is another interterminal option. Eligibility doesn't by itself prove secure-side access.
Where to start
Check your reservation documents and the operator’s current boarding instructions; use the public bus only with its own fare and accessibility information.
What this guide covers
This guide focuses on the routes below, using research dated 2026-10-31. It can’t confirm every airline, gate, entry rule, accessible path or service change at Mexico City Airport on your travel day.
Routes and pickup points
Start with the direction and access area that match your trip. A public shuttle, a secure-side bus and a city coach may all appear on one airport map, but they take you to different places.

What remains to confirm
Before you use one of these routes, check the operating carrier, flight date and current stop with the airport or transport provider. These records can’t tell you whether your bag is checked through, whether you may enter the country, how long the queues are or whether you have enough time to connect.
