- Ie-Tram route R901: the city’s electric bus line runs between Paseo 60, La Plancha and Teya station for MXN 45, paid with a Va y Ven card or a bank card.
- Taxi or ride-hailing app: the quickest door-to-door option, especially with luggage or late at night.

Train times and fares come from the official Tren Maya booking site, checked on November 1, 2026 for travel in November and December 2026, and show the standard-class (Turista) fare for foreign visitors. ADO times and fares come from the ADO booking flow for Wednesday, December 2, 2026. Both change: check the live times before you travel.
