Strange? ETN normally has been a good experience in the past for me. Today, 8/26/25 the bus from…read moreleaving the Observatorio to Morelia was late by 30 minutes. Once on the road the bus driver stop on a street for over 5 minutes without any apparent reason nor notification. a few passengers became concerned and we had to tap the window of the driver's compartment to inquire. The driver did not respond but just waved his arm. Minutes later we continued without any explanation?

Subway station for the park! This station is rather well…read morelaid out, well labeled, and a simple style of station. There are some booths selling trinkets, fidget spinners, snacks and such. It's not an incredibly busy station. The station lets you out right at the edge of the park, and it's a quick hike over to the actual park. From this station there are multiple bus lines that run all over town from this station. However, it seems that the Metro people and the Bus people don't talk, and there's no signage to let you know where the nearest bus stops are. Additionally, they don't actually stop in front of / near the metro station, like you think would be convenient. For my bus, I had to cross over the highway on an elevated footpath to get to the right place. Groooan. The station is relatively clean, and has some interesting murals.

My hotel was horrified that I'm cheap enough to take the subway in Mexico City. I laughed and said…read moreI've lived for quite a while in New York and Miami, so if I can handle the NY Subway and Metrorail, I wouldn't die on the Mexico City subway. If all else fails, I'm taking kickboxing at my gym. Like any subway anywhere in the world, put your wallet in your front pocket, and slide your watch up inside your sleeve. The system is very efficient and much better than expected, especially given the hotel concierge's look of horror and verbal warning. Stations are generally everywhere you might want to go. Almost all stations I used were clean, modern and efficient. Outside of rush hour, it is a very pleasant experience. Every now and then you felt a little too alone in the station, and maybe would appreciate a few more police. By large city standards, the system was remarkably short on police personnel. Mexico City by some counts is the biggest city in the world, so expect a huge flood of people during rush hour. The subway is generally a faster option than any form of surface transportation. Large swaths of Mexico City suffer from chronic gridlock, whether you take Uber, a taxi or a bus. This makes the subway almost always the fastest, cheapest option. As an aside, we rented a Hertz for the day to get to Puebla. I highly recommend AGAINST driving yourself in Mexico City, even if on the way out of town. An unexpectedly hilarious moment was the Hertz lady explaining to us how to weasel out of the inevitable traffic ticket ("now I'm NOT telling you to do this, but..."). Bizarrely, all rental cars are plainly marked as rentals, which is like a flashing beacon to robbers and the traffic "police". Take the subway or a tour bus whenever you can.

Usually I wouldn't review public transportation system, but I am giving some love to Mexico City's…read moretrain system. The whole city is connected by the subway, much like New York City. Everything is color coded making it easier to navigate. It is so efficient. You never have to wait for a train. They are running constantly. The metro stations are clean and the busiest locations will have clothing and food vendors. There are about 21 million people living in this city. So if you ever use this train, be prepared for overly crowded trains especially during rush hours. You will be pushed. My only complain is the train needs more policing. Pick pocketing is an issue. Just guard your belongings really well. 4 stars.

Noooo gracias! This place gets sooooo cramped at rush hour…read more Pro tip: stay away from the bus here if you can at all avoid it at rush hour. We're talking wall to wall, face to face with total strangers. Not enough room to reach the bars to keep you from falling into the person next to you. These buses run really frequently, like every minute or so during rush hour, but they're still absolutely crammed with people! The best thing about this bus stop is getting out of there. Once you get out, you are greeted with a bunch of street meat food stalls, a few psychic booths, and plenty of places selling fidget spinners. It's less than a block's walk to the Metro station here, Metro Hidalgo. If you can Uber it or take a cab, do that instead... Stay away at rush hour if you can avoid it at all. The fare is taken from a RFID implanted chip on a thick bus card that you have to purchase separately from the subway fares. The card costs less than a dollar, and each ride is only a dime or so. But please, spring for that extra few pesos on the ride. I wish I had.

Mexico has come a long way in the disability infrastructure. I'm so proud to see these giant steps…read morehave finally been overcome with elevators & preferential entrance/access. At this station make sure your senior/handicap enters on the left side, so assure a seat. You can accompany them on that side too. The -2 stars is because there is zero discount for seniors/handicap. Which I think is extremely unfair since metro & metrobus give them free unlimited access. Also the need for a 2nd type of prepaid card is a hassle especially bc I've only used it twice in my life & never carry it. So I have to purchase another if I forget it or don't plan ahead. Let alone if you're a tourist in a group, every person needs one bc its non shareable unlike meteo/metrobus!!!

I was looking for an…read moreATM (near the back of the building, past all the shops) and came across a permanent looking ring, where a 6 year old boy was wailing on a 8 year old girl. The kids were covered in padding, so it's not like they were in any real danger. The shops are nice- good for travelers, and people who are commuting on the trains. Sleek marble surfaces and chrome are the decor here, so it looks nice. It feels safe here. There's plenty of things going on around here- a bus station and a big library are next door. The station has a bunch of subway lines that come/go from here. They have a little model train that is supposed to go around on a track past miniature rural scenes. However that wasn't working, and a full scale model train that wasn't working either. Out in front of the station, tacos and other street foods are sold for ridiculously cheap prices. On the side of the station is the Plaza of the Americas- a nice open place to hang.
