| General Info | Bus from Terminal to Centro | Translated from Reddit Two QroBus apps on my iPhone - should give us transit info | $0.00 | If you really want to walk, walk to the stop in front of the red cross, there you take the bus to the central (one minute trip). The 121 leaves you in the central. you have to take the qrobus on constituents avenue, buy your ticket for 11 pesos on board and line 121 ends at the central bus station. | |||

| General Info | Walk to/from Bus Terminal | Translated From Reddit | $0.00 | I have walked through the area, but the direct route is not the most beautiful or pedestrian. From the center you may like this route: from where you are staying, walk towards Avenida Universidad (there is a river that could be pleasant if it hasn't rained), then walk towards Bernardo Quintana and when you get to Pathé, go to the neighborhood (It is a quiet and beautiful neighborhood to walk), then cross Carretas (which is super beautiful to walk with many parks) towards Quintas del Marqués (another quiet neighborhood), from there walk to the Corregidora Stadium and from there you just have to go around it a little towards Bernardo Quintana. Right in front of the Ibis hotel there is a pedestrian bridge that crosses Bernardo Quintana and leaves you next to the terminal. That final stretch is a bit ugly because it takes you to a half-abandoned alley, but then after that you get to the parking lot through the taxi area. I have walked that section the other way around because I was working next to the terminal and suddenly I was going to the center. They are beautiful colonies with friendly sidewalks, they are quiet and there are even little trees that cover a bit of the sun. | |||
| General Info | Walk to/from Bus Terminal #2 | Translated from Reddit | $0.00 | Yes you can but there is not much to see if you want to get there fast ... maybe the stadium and the mall, but not much more until you get to the center. If you deviate a bit on your walk, you arrive at Carretas, which is a neighborhood with a beautiful park from which you can reach the arches (highly recommended). In this map: https://imgur.com/6WEvwjs the green line is the shortest distance between the station and the center walking through the safest area. The red one is my recommendation for a pedestrian route ... Walking through Carretas, the arches, the viewpoint, the Convent of the Cross, etc. The blue circles are nice areas to walk too, of course there are some areas that are less secure, like everywhere else. Lucky! | |||
