This is the BEST way to get around the city. During five years, I commuted using the Metro and other transportation systems, and by far the Metro wins :)

  • It’s super cheap
  • It’s fast
  • It’s acceptably clean
  • It’s reliable
  • Some stations have art and displays that will keep you distracted while walking the long transfers between lines
  • Its web reaches much of Mexico City, and most of its stations have ground transportation to connect practically everywhere.

Though there are horror stories —as in all other metros in the world and in other transportation systems as well—, just a little common sense got me around fine.

Another tip: at peak hours the two front wagons are exclusively for women and children, and the other seven are for everybody.

Another tip: bring good shoes with “gripping” soles. With so much traffic through the years, the marble floors have been buffed and they’re quite slippery —my own horror story: I slipped while going down the stairs, and I dislocated my thumb :(

If your going to Mexico City TAKE THE SUBWAY! by NAUDUDE

I hate to see so many tourists who get over charged or even kidnapped in the taxis that run on the surface streets. I lived in Mexico City as a study abroad student and have learned to love the subway. Its the best way to connect with the people of Mexico and see how life really is. It will also take you right to most destinations and you will not have to walk outside far to see the tourist attraction. Be careful around 5pm on the weekdays because it gets so congested, other passengers will actually push people into the cars. I got my foot stuck once too! It is relatively safe as long as you are conscious to your personal belongings and your wallet. The picture shows the old orange cars but they are upgrading to new cars which have the seats inside in a long along the side of the train car. I was told but am not sure that here is a separate set of police which patrol the subway. I have never had a compromising situation in the subway. On a historical note, the subway was one of the very few things that survived the earthquate of 85 in its entirety. Ironically, this is one of the places I felt safest in the city.
