Having a driver or a car is a matter of "social status". Changing this ideology can sometimes prove to be difficult. Hopefully, the government can convince people to have a change of heart with regards to trust and usage of their public transpotation system!Jen Laceda | Milk Guideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00619343060622081800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8361177678919142183.post-27030728718330026862009-06-09T11:54:50.873-07:002009-06-09T11:54:50.873-07:00Glad to hear about a green plan.

Also found the public transportation to be excellent.

The only complaint I've had in the last couple of years is that the metro card became unavailable shortly before I lost mine in January and has only recently been on sale again.

All while riding the metro within the past year, my father-in-law had his wallet stolen, my friend had his digital camera stolen, and my Spanish tutor (a local) was mugged at knifepoint. So, I do *not* ride the Metro alone and I do *not* carry anything valuable. <br /><br />I rode the subway in NYC for many years without nary a problem but I do not feel very safe on the metro here.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16341185704678989252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8361177678919142183.post-48070475374281704392009-06-08T12:14:36.055-07:002009-06-08T12:14:36.055-07:00Hi - thanks for the post.

And then we always moan that it is so much more reliable, cleaner and more efficient than our El here in Chicago.We use the Insurgentes station most of all and have come to know other favorite stops as much by their pictograms as by their names. It's pretty amazing to get off at the Cathedral station and walk up into the Zocalo.<br /><br />Keep up the good writing.Gretchen FFreshinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06387568326999331042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8361177678919142183.post-91577378220667305702009-06-08T09:40:27.109-07:002009-06-08T09:40:27.109-07:00I wanted to add that when I lived in Mexico, I als...I wanted to add that when I lived in Mexico, I also only used public transport with no problems.
