Mexico is linked by an excellent and very economical bus system. There are first-class and deluxe coaches as well as ordinary buses. Central bus terminals in major cities provide service and information on fares and schedules. An International Driving Permit or a full British Driving Licence is required for locally registered vehicles. Minimum driving age is 18.
Payment is by credit card.
Full car insurance is recommended. There is an excellent and cheap metro system in Mexico City with frequent trains and flat fares. However, it is often crowded and some familiarity with the city is necessary to use it successfully. The metro opens Mon-Sat at 0500 and Sun 0700 and closes at about midnight. There is also a small tramway network, and extensive bus and trolleybus services.
