I feel safe in this city so far. But if crime is that high that they only can "solve" it by separating men from women, it leaves a bad aftertaste.

Every station features their own icon which resembles the place (although here you'd have to speak Aztec to understand it). This helps both analphabets and people not familiar with the names to find their way.

Changing from a metro line to another is covered by the fare of 5 pesos per person (so only a few cents of CHF/EUR/USD), while changing to Metrobús (6$) or Gondola (7$) isn't. They all use gates with the same prepaid card.

@doppelspurinsel
Absolutely. Graffiti are intended to be art, but too often pure vandalism. And there is a big difference here: a lot of the murals are private properties, with the owners supporting the murals (or even contributing to it). OK, the astronaut on my photo is on a school building.
