Lines that keep running

Brief

This is the overnight lifeline when the metro or flagship express shuts down.

Service: Official Airport Taxis (ATASA / ATA / Ecofy)
Mode: taxi
Freq: on-demandm
Note: Licensed airport taxis with fixed zone-based fares from stands inside the terminal to Guadalajara Centro Histórico and other districts. Typically available 24/7 but queues can be long at peaks; ride-hailing apps cannot legally pick up at the terminal, so these are the main door‑to‑door option.

Backup when rail sleeps

Brief

If even this pauses, default to the licensed taxi rank or approved ride-hailing pickup outside arrivals.

Service: Route C98 Periférico Norte
Mode: bus
Freq: 15-30m
Note: MiTransporte route starting at the airport and running via Periférico to Periférico Norte light-rail/BRT area, where passengers can transfer to Mi Macro or light rail lines toward the city center. Best suited for travelers comfortable making a connection rather than going directly into the historic core.

Ticketing tips

Brief

Load balance onto the local transit card before midnight because some kiosks shut or stop accepting bills after hours.
