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.

In case your city isn't loud enough from all the mopeds and Taco-sellers, have airplanes fly over every 2 minutes before landing.

The concrete reinforcement reaches from the foundation slab all the way up through the next higher ceiling and a bit further. This is more complicated to build, but helps to make the building earthquake resilient.
