America. It is the fourth busiest in the world and also the cheapest as it is subsidised by the Mexican Government. It is the best way to travel around this vast Metropolis and is easily accessible from any of its 175 stations, however to explore beyond the limitations of the Metro, car hire in Mexico city is both reasonably priced and convenient.
The quaint trolley buses are also an option worth investigating.

The best connections to and from the city is via the mostly privately managed bus networks. By air and for international arrivals there is of course the
Mexico City Airport.
