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.

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.

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.
