To find a Busbud stop at Terminal Central del Norte in Mexico City, look for the bus bays within the station, as Busbud operates from there. You can find the terminal at Eje Central 271, Magdalena de las Salinas, 07760 Ciudad de México, D.F., Mexico. Upon arrival, ask station staff or look for signage for your specific bus company, as the stop location can vary within the large terminal.

Google AI says: You can find the SKPT de Viaje buses at Terminal 2 of the Autobuses del Norte station in Mexico City, which is located near the platform for the Mexico City Metro's Autobuses del Norte station (Line 5). Look for the platform associated with the Mexico City Metro's Line 5, which is the Autobuses del Norte station. But then it also says: The "Terminal 2" at Mexico City's "Central de Autobuses del Norte" does not exist; the terminal is a single facility, and its map can be found by searching for "Central de Autobuses del Norte map" or by looking at the location on a map application. It is located at the intersection of Eje Central Lázaro Cárdenas and the Metro station that shares its name, Eje Central Lázaro Cárdenas 271.

The Central de Autobuses del Norte is located steps from the Metro Terminal, very close to the IMSS Delegación Norte. This northern terminal is located in the Lázaro Cárdenas Central Axis, number 4907 of the Magdalena de las Salinas Colony, Gustavo A. Madero Delegation.
