As the third largest and second most populous country in Latin America, Mexico has developed an extensive transportation network to meet the needs of its economy and growing population. Regulated by the Secretariat of Communications and Transportation (Secretaría de Comunicaciones y Transportes, SCT), a federal executive cabinet branch, Mexico's transportation system includes modern highways, a well-connected bus network, railways primarily used for freight, and a network of domestic and international airports.
These infrastructures facilitate trade, tourism, and domestic travel, supporting Mexico's economic activities and connecting its diverse regions efficiently. However, challenges such as traffic congestion and safety concerns persist, particularly in urban centers, highlighting ongoing efforts to improve and expand the country's transportation capabilities.
