For a long time, travelers at the Mexico City International Airport (AICM) have faced a problem. They could use ride-sharing apps like Uber, DiDi, or InDrive to get to the airport, but not to leave. This was because government and airline rules allowed only authorized airport taxis to pick up passengers.
That situation is changing. The federal government has announced a new plan to create legal pickup zones for ride-sharing platforms. This is part of a solution to end conflicts between app drivers, airport taxis, and the authorities.
How Will the New Pickup System Work?
The new system will not allow Uber or DiDi to pick up passengers directly outside the main exits of Terminals 1 and 2. Instead, the government is creating a special waiting area for these vehicles.
This designated zone is located between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, about an eight-minute walk from both buildings. The space has covered seating and is watched over by security personnel.
The government plans to offer a free public-transport shuttle to take passengers directly from the terminals to the new ride-sharing pickup zone.
