How to get to the CIC-IPN,
the place where Alexander Gelbukh's office is

A. Gelbukh's room is number 3, on the first floor (the one above the ground floor), North wing, Eastern side. You can ask anybody to show you the room, or call 56544 from the entrance.

Here is how to get to the place. Please PRINT OUT THIS PAGE and the map before you go. Below is a map ( yellow  marker is the CIC,  blue  marker is the nearest Metro station) and photo of the building (click on the yellow marker). Se also a full-screen map (or open a KML file in your map app).

Here are instructions on how to get there by:

   Metro (Subway): By the Yellow line, go North to the terminal station Politécnico. There are two exits, choose the one to "Calle Diana". Walking along the car circulation by the large street (Eje Central), pass one building (car dealer Ford MYLSA, a glass building), turn right, and enter the IPN Institute territory gate. The nearest 3-floor red (orange, pink) building is the CIC.

   Uber or GPS: Search for "Centro de Investigación en Computación", which is shown by Uber at the address "Av Juan de Dios Batiz Esq Miguel Othon de Mendizabal ...".

   Taxi: The taxi from the Central zone should cost about 50 pesos (US$5). Go north by Av. Eje Central Cien Metros until the Subway station "Politecnico," and you are almost here; you can continue on foot or in taxi. Pass the Subway station, pass one building (car dealer Ford MYLSA, a glass building), turn right by Av. Venus, and enter the IPN territory gate. The nearest 3-floor pink building is the CIC. You can print out the following text in Spanish and show it to the taxi driver:

"Vaya al Norte por Eje Central Cien Metros hasta el Metro Politécnico, páselo, pase un edificio mas (tienda de automóviles seminuevos Ford Mylsa --sólo un edificio, ¡no más!), dé vuelta a la derecha (por la calle Venus), entre en el territorio del IPN (Instituto Politécnico Nacional), vaya al edificio de color rosa de 3 pisos."

   Car: Take North Ave. Eje Central Cien Metros. Pass the large bus terminal "Terminal de Autobuses del Norte" (to the right from you). Pass the tower of the Mexican Oil Institute – Instituto Mexicano de Petroleo (to the left from you) and the Instituto de Petroleo Subway station. When crossing Eje 5 Norte (Montevideo), move to the right lane of Ave. Eje Central Cien Metros. Pass the Politécnico Subway station and go slowly. Pass one building – the Ford car dealer MYLSA (a glass building), turn right into Venus street, and enter the IPN gate. Leave some personal identification document at the entrance gate to IPN. The nearest building is CIC, a pink square 3 floor building.

   Metrobus: The nearest Metrobus station is La Patera, at Line 3 (green) in the direction to Tenayuca (to the North); from there you will need to walk some 20 minutes. To get to Line 3, you may need to change line; for example, from Line 1 (red) the connection is at the Circuito station: for this, you get out from Metrobus at that station, go out to the street, walk to the station of line 3 over a bridge, and enter the station with the same payment card (it will not be charged). To use Metrobus, you need to buy a plastic card (also valid for Metro). The card can be bought (or re-charged) at the bus station (using a vending machine) or at any Metro station (with the cashier).

   Bus: There are many buses and microbuses that go along Av. Eje Central to the Metro Politécnico Metro station. Ask the driver to tell you when the bus arrives to that station. Then walk along the car circulation by the large street (Eje Central), pass one building (car dealer Ford MYLSA, a glass building), turn right, and enter the IPN Institute territory gate. The nearest 3-floor pink building is the CIC.
