Getting to the TAPO station from the Airport by Taxi
Inside the airport is a booth (caseta) that sells tickets (boletos) for taxis. The taxi ticket booth is next to an exit door out of the airport; near the exit for customs, in the international arrivals area. Once you locate this booth make it known that you want a taxi to La TAPO bus station. TAPO
Terminal de Autobuses de Pasajeros de Oriente is the full name. (East Bus Terminal). It is located about 1 mile east of the Zócalo and is the closest station to the airport.
TAPO Bus Station – After about 20 minutes of Mexico City traffic and you'll be at the edge of the bus station. It is a round building, like a donut, and you need to get yourself into the center, or hole, of the donut. Follow the flow of people towards the center. You will go through a long, wide passageway that opens into the center of the bus station. Here you will see a dozen or more bus lines. The ones you are interested in are either UNO or ADO GL (for comfort). Both of these offer first class service to Jalapa. They list the departure times on boards above the ticket windows. Check both before buying tickets, as you will want to the line with the next leaving bus. You shouldn't have to spend more than an hour waiting in the bus station. Departures are frequent (from 6AM-1PM).
Your ticket will cost about $271 pesos - about $25 US. Regarding money, you should exchange at least enough money for the taxi, bus and one day in Xalapa while you are still in the Mexico city airport (there are many exchange booths there - casa de cambio). The airport has the best exchange rate in the country, and it's convenient. Just don't flash your money around there, or anywhere else for that matter.
Hope this helps any who are traveling, and you arrive safe and secure at your destination. |
