Public transport México

The Mexican capital's subway is a French achievement. The first line was inaugurated in September 1969, and since then, the network has continued to expand. It currently has 195 stations on 12 metro lines, forming a network of 226 km. Every day, it carries more than 4 million passengers. The metro remains the fastest way to get around, especially during rush hour. However, it is often necessary to take another means of transportation once you get off at a given station.

In 2010, the Mexican government implemented a bicycle rental system called Ecobici. Several dozen stations were installed from Polanco to the historic center through all the intermediate settlements such as Paseo Reforma, Roma and Condesa. The service now includes all the settlements along Insurgentes Sur, up to the center of Coyoacán. This is a system that is not only environmentally friendly, but also very attractive for tourists who can now explore the city by bike.

In 2005, the Mexico City government introduced the metrobus, a new transportation system that combines bus and streetcar features. It has seven lines, but only five of them are attractive to travelers. The price of the metrobus ticket is slightly higher than that of the subway, but the ride is more pleasant because you can see the city from the car. Buy your card at the vending machines located at the bus stops of all metro stations. The card is also valid for the subway.
