The most numerous means of public transportation are short buses and minibuses (commonly referred to as 'colectivos'), typically modified VW Transporter and Ford Transit vehicles. No railroad lines service the municipality, increasing the cost of shipping to or from the area. Tuxtla is connected to the country by a network of federal roads and an expressway that connects it to Mexico City, some ten hours away. An expressway connecting Tuxtla to San Cristóbal de las Casas was completed in 2006.
Interstate buslines that arrive in Tuxtla are: Ómnibus Cristóbal Colón (OCC), ADO-GL (both of which originate in Tuxtla), Autobuses UNO, Rápidos del Sur (RS) and TRF. Tuxtla is well connected to the rest of Mexico, and has daily national departures, and frequent departures to San Cristóbal de las Casas. A new dedicated bus terminus is under construction in the west part of town.
A new national airport, which opened in 2006 was built 45 minutes east of town. There is currently no public transportation between the airport and the town, but this is subject to change. Previously, the national airport Llano San Juan, located in the town of Berriozábal was in operation, but due to recurring adverse weather conditions, the new airport was built to ensure more timely arrivals and departures.
