bus station

authorized taxis
into the centre for under US$3 or you can turn right outside and walk about 200m along the main road where you can hop onto one of the frequent local buses and colectivos that run to the centre. To get back to CAPU from town, they can be picked up along 9 Nte or 9 Sur: you'll need to get back out for all except local second-class journeys (to Tlaxcala or Cholula, for example, which can be picked up on 6 Pte between 11 and 13 Nte).
