(The trip is about an hour and a half from the North terminal), the cost of the bus ticket is $ 55 mx per trip. When you get off at the terminal, take a taxi that takes you to San Francisco Mazapa and leaves you passing the curve in front of the Tepantitla restaurant (10 minutes approx), right next to the Archaeological Zone of Tepantitla.

Uber: From the center of Mexico City to Teotihuacan the average transfer time is 1 hour, consider the driver can charge the cost of the toll ($ 105 mx) separately, when you request the UBER as an address write "Teotihuacan en bici"
