Metro
The metro station is above ground between terminals 1 and 2 and is about a 5-minute walk from both buildings.
The green metro line goes to San Miguelito station, where you'll need to transfer to the red line 1 to get to downtown Panama City.
The Green Line branches off on the way from downtown, and only every other connection goes to the airport. Trains marked "Nuevo Tocumen" do not go to the airport.
You can pay the fare with your own contactless card by attaching it to the turnstile, or buy a card at the vending machine for 2 usd, which you load with any amount of money and can be used to travel on the metro and all city buses.
