The front third of the bus is for white only, pardon, women only.

High-floor bus with level entrance from the median of the avenue, therefore the doors on the left. Seperate bus lane. Efficient.

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.

Line 12 is one of the two "real" railways of the metro, so no rubber and it still has quite good acceleration.

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.

I checked online for bus schedules and everything, but the line number does not show on the bus and the driver seemed to not even know it ;-) however, the general direction is right. Kind of.

Closed bus doors are overrated.
(Photo taken while the bus was stopped, but the doors would not shut during most of the ride).

The driver didn't need to check the speedometer - the needle as well as the glass covering it was long gone. So he could focus on his main duty, being DJ.

@serac so I’ve always been curious about this: do you need to pick off any bits (exoskeleton, legs, antennae) or do you just eat everything?
ÉricMSM🇧🇪🥾🚆🚊🌼🐑🐞📷@serac Is that a sort of "S-Bahn" or more "Light Rail"? Looks to me more Light Rail though.
@Eric_ours_polaire
I would not call it light rail. It's the metro line 12 - partly underground, partly elevated, never a tram sharing the road.

javensbukan@serac At least you don't have to wait for the doors to open?! 😜
@javensbukan
Totally. People board and onboard while driving. Carrying a toddler I did wait for it to stop.

Todd Thomas@serac Wow, I really love this photo. Thank you
simonbp@serac Just about the altitude of my apartment in grad school, though much drier than Mexico City. My lungs got real good biking up to the observatory.
