Access and transport media

Organizers are working together with the authorities of the Government of Mexico City to bring secure options that facilitate the arrival to the facility. It is important to mention that the Autodromo Hermanos Rodríguez doesn’t have parking lots, so we suggest the attendants leaving their cars at home or at remote parking lots.

Therefore the main recommendation is using public transport means:

· Subway*: There are 3 stations from Line 9 (Brown) close to the Autodromo- Velodromo, Ciudad Deportiva and Puebla, each of them are located close to the access entries.

· Metrobus*: There are 2 stations from Line 2 close to the facility – Iztacalco (closet o Door 16 of the facility) and UPIICSA (near Door 14 of the facility).

· Official cabs authorized by local authorities.

· Personal private transport – mobile apps.

*Special security measures have been implemented by Mexico City authorities. Besides people may use the Circuit Bus surrounding the Autodromo, it is a free service with different assigned stops to approach the attendants to the different entrance doors.

If the attendants want another option, the transport service Ticket2ride could be purchased on the Ticketmaster system prior to the race. This particular transport service consists on a round travel

from different exit points in Mexico City (Interlomas and Mundo E) as well as the City of Puebla to Autodromo Hermanos Rodríguez as the only destination. Another alternative transport to use is the remote buses that go to the Autodromo Hermanos Rodríguez from different points of the city. These may be taken at the Auditorio Nacional, Plaza Carso, Hipódromo de las Américas and Expo México Santa Fe. This service has an individual cost of $30.00 MXN per travel. At the exit of the event, these buses will be available to return the passengers to the exit point that best suits their needs.
