I have lived in Mexico City all my life, but since I started high school I have had to take public transportation (metro, cablebus, trolleybus, metrobus...) And you don't know how happy I am that people from outside the country are interested in our public transport, it touched my heart and thank you very much for making the video. 🇲🇽❤️

I came to mexico when I was only 3 years old From venezuela to Mexico I now live a very happy life and the closest line to my house is the 12 line very good line with a lot of TV and it announces station have relaxing music open gangway and new modern doors When they announce station ''Proxima estacion Calle 11 prepare su descenso apertura de puertas lado derecho'' it also displays on. The Tv's and it haves a light outside that illuminates when the doors open Also. On all lines except for the line 6 have a special model that is rainbow We all mostly call it CDMX because it displays CDMX outside and also it has neumatic lines except for A and 12 Those lines are only metallic wheels. Neumatic linrs are only on Chile and paris (everything I know) and that's my life here Also they have a earthquake alarm The most recent one was a 5.7 one (7 of December 2023) Scary. But good.

Mexico has many ways to travel, if you don't go out it's because you don't want to.😊

Great video! Just spent a week in MXCD and your tips were invaluable. We found the public transportation easy, fast, and clean. A little crowded at times, but no different than any other city. The bicycle system is amazing, we rode 160km over the week, including a Day of the Dead night ride that was a complete blast! Easily the most surprising city I’ve ever visited, great people, food, and culture. Great tip on the cable bus, definitely something to see.

estuve de vacaciones en ciudad de México , y he de admitir que esta ciudad tiene el mejor transporte público no solo de México sino de toda Latinoamérica. tiene una conectividad envidiable . lo único que no recomiendo tomar son taxis, son muy abusivos con los precios. lo bueno que no hay necesidad de tomar taxis con tan buen transporte público.

sinceramente yo creo que gaudalajara tiene mejor transporte publico, no tiene tantas lineas de metro, pero es entendible siendo mas chica, pero por encima de todo, sus camiones o microbuses como les dicen en la cdmx son muy buenos, practicamente todos son nuevos, y encima pasan cada 5 minutos los mas usados, a las afueras pueden llegar a tardar 15 minutos, pero nada que ver con la CDMX que a veces tardan como 20 minutos en plenas zonas centricas

fun fact: Mexico city uses symbols displayed at stations or signs and the symbols are there to represent different forms of transportation and stops. the reason is that illiteracy was taken into consideration. you don't need to know how to read in order to get around. and since Mexico has 68 national languages including 63 indigenous, not everyone can speak Spanish or read.

El Estado de México es otra administración (México, como país, está dividido en 32 estados o entidades administraticas, incluyendo la Ciudad de México). El Estado de México es muy grande y casi rodea a la CdMx, pero ya es otro estado. En la actualidad ambas entidades intentan coordinarse para darle viabilidad a la Zona Metropolitana, que se ha vuelto enorme. Es como en Argentina, que Buenos Aires capital está rodeada por el llamado Gran Buenos Aires, que realmente ya es otra entidad. Saludos.

Very helpful video, thank you! Do I need to pick up a separate ecobici card from their office or can I just register via the app and then use my metro card to scan at the bike stations?

@ShouldWeLiveHere

Жыл бұрын

You only need one Metro card that you can use for everything. Create an ECOBICI account online or on your phone, and then you can link your metro card to it. The metro card has a number on the back that you enter. You then use your metro card at any bike station. A couple times the card didn’t work- I think it may have been because the bike was charging. We just went to the next bike in the rack and it would work.

Local Mexico City citizen here, a few advices if you use the public transport, -metrobus lines 1,2 and 3 can also be paid with any nfc car or digital wallet -if your arrived at terminal 2, do not try to calling any kind of taxi that is not the ones from the airport, for some the reason it's not allowed there -DO NOT USE microbuses, combis and the purple buses, there unrealiable, the drivers drive in a dangerous way and it's quotes are extremely inconsistent -And there is also a "mini metro" line at the south, it starts at the south terminal of line 2

Thank You Thank You Thank You for this video! It answers so many questions I had. One thing I still need clarity on: In one part of the video I believe you said that when you are taking the Metro Bus, you have to pay for each bus you transfer to. Later in the video, however, I thought I heard you say that you can ride and transfer buses up to two (2) hours on one "pass" (?). Will you explain this to me so that I understand this better? Thanks.
