Mexico City unveils Park & Ride service for World Cup matches

Mexico City is rolling out a dedicated Park & Ride service to ease fan access to the Estadio Ciudad de México for the upcoming World Cup matches. The initiative aims to streamline transportation for attendees, particularly for the inaugural match on June 11 and other scheduled games.

The service allows fans to park their vehicles at designated points across the capital and then board either a Trolebús or a Red de Transporte de Pasajeros (RTP) unit to reach the stadium. This approach is designed to reduce traffic congestion around the venue and offer a convenient travel option.

Several routes will be available, catering to different parts of the city. Routes from the west include connections from Plaza Carso and the Auditorio Nacional, both heading to Santa Úrsula/Santo Tomás. Another western route departs from the Auditorio Nacional to Cetram Huipulco. The southern part of the city is served by a route from Estadio Olímpico Universitario to Santa Úrsula/Santo Tomás, and another from Six Flags to Cetram Huipulco.

For those in the city center, a route will run from Parque México in the Hipódromo neighborhood to Cetram Huipulco. The service will commence at 7 a.m., with buses departing every 15 minutes to ensure frequent access. The cost for the round-trip service is set at 500 pesos for most routes, with the exception of the Six Flags route, which is priced at 350 pesos. The Parque México route also costs 350 pesos.
