Getting around Mexico
First-class buses (ADO, ETN, Primera Plus) are comfortable and the usual way between cities. Budget airlines cover long hops cheaply; the Tren Maya links Yucatán Peninsula towns.
Key facts
- Ride-hailing apps: Uber, DiDi, inDrive.
- Driving: on the right. Foreign licences are valid. Mexican liability insurance is required; a foreign-plated car beyond the border zone needs an import permit.
