The Metro is affordable and connects the airport via Line 5 to the city, but it may be crowded and less convenient for luggage. The Aeropuerto Metrobus line provides a direct, quick, and cost-effective service to key points in the city, taking about thirty minutes. Taxis are available outside arrivals and are the most convenient and safest option, with fixed fares to central locations. Ride-share services like Uber are widely used and often more affordable than official taxis. Car rentals are also available at the airport but generally less practical for city center travel due to traffic and parking challenges. Most travelers prefer the Metrobus or taxis for a balance of convenience and reliability."
