| Travel Resource | Bus Depot to Centro | Tuzobús | $0.00 | Getting to Centro: Take Tuzobús (non-express)
Where to Find It - Exit the Terminal: Walk out of the main entrance of the Terminal Central de Autobuses. - Cross the Boulevard: Safely cross the main road out front via the pedestrian bridges towards Boulevard Felipe Ángeles. - Locate the Stop: Look for the "Estación Central de Autobuses" stop of the Tuzobús network (Pachuca's rapid transit system). Note that there is supposed to be a ped bridge that connects. - Line: Take the Trunk Line (Parador, not Express) line heading North toward Centro.Drop-off: Get off at Plaza Juárez or Centro Histórico. This bypasses traffic and takes about 10–12 minutes.Cost: ~$10 MXN. You will need to buy a transit card at the station kiosk. To get to J Mariano Jiménez 114 using the Tuzobús, the absolute best stop to exit is Niños Héroes Poniente. If you accidentally hop on an express line that skips Niños Héroes, you can also get off at Plaza Juárez. From there, it is a slightly longer but straightforward 8-minute walk west across the plaza and down Calle Ignacio Trigueros to connect with J Mariano Jiménez. The Tuzobús is Pachuca’s Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system. It functions like a surface-level subway, utilizing large, modern buses that run in dedicated, barrier-protected center lanes to completely bypass city traffic. The government recently took over direct operations under the Sistema de Transporte Metropolitano, introducing a brand-new fleet of vehicles, updated security cameras, and fully renovated stations. System Layout & Routes - The system consists of one major Ruta Troncal (Trunk Line) that cuts straight through the city from North to South, supported by smaller Rutas Alimentadoras (Feeder Buses) that connect outer neighborhoods. - The Main Trunk Line: Runs from Terminal Téllez in the south all the way up to the Centro Histórico in the north, stopping at 31 glass-enclosed stations. - Parada Central de Autobuses: Conveniently, the system has a dedicated station spur directly serving the Central de Autobuses de Pachuca, making it seamless for travellers. - Service Types: Pay close attention to the bus windshields. Some are Parador (stop at every single station), while others are Exprés (like the T01), which skip smaller stops to get you to Centro much faster. - Fares and How to Pay: The Cost: A flat rate of $10 MXN per ride (roughly $0.50 USD). - The Tuzocard: Cash is not accepted on board the main trunk line. You must purchase a smart transit card (Tuzocard) from the electronic vending machines inside the station. The machine dispenses the card and allows you to load money onto it. You only need one card for both of you; just scan it at the turnstile, pass it back to your partner, and scan it again. - Transfers: If you need to switch from the trunk line to a feeder bus, your transfer is free when using the card. - Operating Hours: -- Weekdays (Mon-Fri): 5:30 AM to 10:30 PM. -- Saturdays: 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. -- Sundays & Holidays: 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. | |||
