Answer 1 :
With all due respect... do you watch the news? Juarez is not a safe place to travel to right now. Even the Mexican consulate in El Paso is warning people to stay away! I have family from Juarez that live in El Paso and they do not go there! Seriously, you need to rethink your travel plans. And in the meantime either google current events in Juarez or read a newspaper. God Bless.
Answer 2 :
As always there is people who exaggerate the situation in Juarez, as far as i know you can take the bus from a terminal just aside the Santa Fe bridge in downtown El Paso.
Answer 3 :
Well, the easiest thing to do is just catch a taxi when you land and have them take you to the Cd. Juarez bus terminal. Bus will be cheaper, but it doesn't look like the city has a direct route from the airport to the bridge, so you'll have to transfer at the terminal by the mall. Check the Sun Metro bus routes provided by the City of El Paso. There is a stop at the airport, and there is a stop at the international bridge, so the city bus is possible whether it's convenient or not is another matter. Once at the International Bridge, walk across the bridge, get your FMT permit in the Imigracion office, and then have one of the taxis waiting on the Mexican side take you to the bus station. Nogales from Cuidad Juarez, eh? You're SERIOUS? Bizarre route for an American to travel...most folks would have gone to Tucson instead of El Paso....but what the hay. Buy your ticket when you get to the bus terminal and use whatever bus line is leaving next. The distance between the two points is 713km and the bus ride is 8 hours 40 minutes (so says Omnibus de Mexico, which has just one bus per day on that route). Buen viaje!
