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 :(
