==Transportation==
===Public bus system===
The main public transportation system in the city is the public bus system. The public buses run the main streets of Ciudad Juárez throughout the day, costing eight pesos (less than 40 cents) to ride one. Due to the aging current bus fleet being considered potentially outdated, the municipal government is working on replacing the buses with new ones, along with improving the bus stops,  by equipping them with shade.{{citation needed|date=January 2018}}

The ViveBus [[bus rapid transit]] (BRT) system opened to the public in November 2013 with the first route of five planned. The project was made a reality with the collaboration of the local municipal government, the private enterprise of Integradora de Transporte de Juárez (INTRA) as well as other city government agencies.  Studies have shown that the current bus system averages {{cvt|8|mph|0|disp=flip}} while the new system is projected to average {{cvt|16|mph|0|disp=flip}}.  The BRT system studies conducted by the Instituto Municipal de Investigación Y Planeación project a daily ridership of 40,000. In late March 2024, the system was reopened and rebranded to “Juárez Bus”, with the construction of stations all around the city prior to the reopening.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Juárez Bus, un espejo de los juarenses |url=https://diario.mx/opinion/2024/nov/11/juarez-bus-un-espejo-de-los-juarenses-1040869.html#:~:text=El%2011%20de%20marzo%20de,sido%20hist%C3%B3ricamente%20limitada%20y%20desorganizada. |access-date=2025-02-25 |website=El Diario |language=es-MX}}</ref> This was due to the massive failure that was the ViveBus, only having very partial success in the city of Chihuahua, where the system was based, and seen by locals as a major money waste.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Opacidad, fracaso y negocio del ViveBús |url=https://diario.mx/opinion/2013/aug/31/opacidad-fracaso-y-negocio-del-vivebus-198798.html |access-date=2025-02-25 |website=El Diario |language=es-MX}}</ref> Today, the new bus system operates around 100 BRT-1 Mercedes-Benz buses.

The first of the five routes opened to users in late 2013 and is officially named Presidencia-Tierra Nueva and has 34 stations distributed along the north to south corridor.  The route starts at Avenida Francisco Villa, follows north to Eje Vial Norte-Sur then veers left at Zaragoza Blvd. and ends at Avenida Independencia and the elevated Carretera Federal 2.{{citation needed|date=January 2018}}

The first bridge to cross the Rio Grande at El Paso del Norte was built in the time of [[New Spain]], over 250 years ago, from wood hauled in from Santa Fe.<ref>Paul Horgan, ''Great River: The Rio Grande in North American History''.

Vol. 2, Mexico and the United States. 2 Vols. in 1, 1038 pages – Wesleyan University Press 1991, 4th Reprint, {{ISBN|0-8195-6251-3}}</ref>  Today, this bridge is honored by the modern [[Paso del Norte International Bridge|Santa Fe Street Bridge]], and Santa Fe Street in downtown El Paso.

Several bridges serve the El Paso–Ciudad Juárez area in addition to the Paso Del Norte Bridge also known as the Santa Fe Street Bridge, including the [[Bridge of the Americas (El Paso–Ciudad Juárez)|Bridge of the Americas]], [[Stanton Street Bridge]], and the [[Ysleta–Zaragoza International Bridge|Ysleta Bridge also known as the Zaragoza Bridge]].

There is also a land crossing at nearby [[Santa Teresa, New Mexico]], and another one, the [[Fabens–Caseta International Bridge]] located 50&nbsp;km southeast of Juárez.
