The safest, cheapest way to get to MEX airport from UNAM
I need help choosing a good, ie safe and cheap, way to get from UNAM (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México) to Aeropuerto Internacional Benito Juárez (MEX) at night. I was thinking about taking the Metro (to Copilco station) but people are telling me it is too dangerous for foreigners to take the Metro at night.
My flight leaves at 10pm so I was thinking about catching the Metro at 7pm.
Do you think taking the Metro is too dangerous? What other ways do I have to get there then?
Best Answer
I took (pretty much) that exact trip last week at a bit later time, and didn't feel the slightest bit in danger. The metro is crowded with all kinds of normal folks. You can't beat 5 pesos for transportation that far, and it shouldn't vary much with traffic etc. You should be able to get a seat for many of the stops since the University is at the end of the line.
You could also take a taxi, of course.
The campus is huge, make sure you know how to get to your transportation.
If you want to increase comfort and reduce risk, you can use a radio taxi from the University- it's something like 25km so maybe $15 US or so, and you may have to leave an hour or more as well at rush hour.. don't know I only used the metro.
