Mexico City Travel Forum

I am flying to mexico city in July, and travelling, probably by bus, to Torreon. My plane arrives at midnight. I am trying to decide whether I should hang in the airport and catch the 7 a.m. bus to Queretaro, and there catch a bus to Torreon, or take a taxi to Terminal Norte and catch a northbound bus from there. I am meeting people, and have no desire on this trip to spend any more time than is necessary in Mexico city. If I do go to terminal Norte, what are my chances of getting a bus in the middle of the night? It seems difficult to find online schedules. If I end up sitting on a bench at either the airport or the bus terminal until morning, which of those two places would be preferable? Is there a restaurant open all night at either place?

I just tried OdeM website, also just tried their phone and as you say it doesnŽt exactly work - although they do go from Terminal Norte to Torreon ..one of the dumbest deals of this country in which I live is the impossibility to get info - that said if I were you if I had substantial luggage IŽd do the Queretaro thing as the international terminal is just down the way from the bus stop... the Q. terminal is easy and busy. The DF airport is fine for camping out.

On the other hand if you have carry easy luggage a cab to T Norte is reasonable and there are people at all hours, its likely you will find a bus at like 4 or 5 am. Bus terminal is nice compared to like joints in US and there are all sorts camping out also. I have done this and am solo female, not scary at all.

You're flying into the wrong airport. Is there a reason you can't fly into someplace closer to Torreon?

Don't go to Queretaro if you want to take a bus to Torreon, that would be a mistake. Go to Terminal Norte to take the next available bus, which you might catch within a couple of hours of your arrival in the city.
