Once outside the arrival area, go to any of the taxi stands that are located in the terminals. Ask for a ticket to the Northern bus terminal, also known as the Terminal Central del Norte.  Make sure you specify this Northern bus terminal, because there are several bus terminals in Mexico City, one for every cardinal point. Once there, follow the instructions to get to CIMAT by bus.
