Getting around Mexico City with your pet
On the Metro and Metrobús your pet can only ride inside a closed carrier. By car, Uber Pet is the option built for pets. Rules can change: check before you go.
Metro and Metrobús: carrier only
Mexico City's Mobility Law doesn't allow animals on public transport, except assistance animals. In practice, the Metro and Metrobús let small and medium pets in inside a closed carrier, with no head or paws sticking out.
The carrier can't block aisles, doors, wheelchair spaces or priority seats. If you don't follow the rules, staff can deny you entry. Guide and assistance dogs ride without a carrier.
Uber Pet
- Book it in the Uber app as a reserved ride, choosing Uber Pet.
- One pet per ride.
- Your pet rides in the back seat, on a leash or harness, or in its carrier.
- If it soils or damages the car, you may be charged a cleaning fee.
DiDi and taxis
DiDi has no pet option in Mexico: it depends on the driver agreeing. Message them as soon as the ride is assigned to confirm. With street or taxi-stand cabs, ask before getting in.
Rules can change
In August 2026 a proposal to allow companion animals on public transport was filed in Mexico City's Congress. Until it passes, the carrier rule applies.
