Discover the Centrobús route in Mexico City: the new transportation system that will connect the Historic Center with Juárez, Roma, and Zona Rosa.
Mexico City is preparing to launch a new transportation system that promises to transform mobility in the heart of the capital: the Centrobús. This corridor will connect key points such as the Zócalo, Paseo de la Reforma, Insurgentes, the Zona Rosa, and emblematic neighborhoods such as Juárez and Roma. It will offer a fast and accessible alternative for residents and visitors. Its inauguration will coincide with the excitement of the 2026 World Cup, becoming a key element in welcoming thousands of tourists and improving the experience of exploring the city.
New Centrobús in Mexico City
The purpose of the Centrobús is to serve visitors arriving in Mexico City during the 2026 World Cup, facilitating their journey through the city’s main museums, tourist sites, and cultural corridors. However, this project is not only designed for tourists; it also seeks to become an efficient and accessible transportation alternative for local residents.
Centrobús Route
The Centrobús will cover a 10.5-kilometer route, designed to connect key areas of the city. The route will include major thoroughfares such as Hidalgo Avenue, Donceles, Circunvalación, Fray Servando, Doctor Río de la Loza, Chapultepec Avenue, Insurgentes Avenue, and Paseo de la Reforma, integrating strategic points for both visitors and residents of Mexico City.
The Centrobús will allow locals and tourists to explore Mexico City’s main points of interest, including the Zócalo, the Alameda Central, the Palacio de Bellas Artes, the Torre Latinoamericana, and the Glorieta de los Insurgentes. As well as markets such as Mixcalco, La Merced, and Cuauhtémoc, and the Reforma 222 shopping center.
In addition, it will connect important cultural spaces such as the National Museum of Art, the Templo Mayor Museum, the Diego Rivera Mural Museum, the Franz Mayer Museum, and the Bank of Mexico Museum.
Schedule, Fares, and More…
The Centrobús route has already been established. This new transportation system will begin operating during the 2026 World Cup, but will remain permanently in Mexico City after the event.
The Centrobús will operate from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m., offering a more extensive service than other modes of transportation in the city, such as the Metro, to facilitate the transportation of tourists and residents during much of the day and night. However, the fare is still being analyzed. During the presentation, an estimate was shown suggesting a tentative cost of $7 per trip.
With the Centrobús, Mexico City will add a modern, efficient, and electric transportation option that will connect the main tourist, cultural, and commercial centers of the capital’s downtown area. Designed for both visitors during the 2026 World Cup and local users, this new service promises to facilitate mobility, boost the local economy, and offer a more comfortable and sustainable experience for exploring the city.
