Mexico City's subway is awesome! It is clean, fast, inexpensive, and no it is not confusing. Maybe if you ride it 2 or 3 times and don't know where you are going it seems confusing like with anything. The system is very easy to follow and learn. What this video showed was definitely NOT crowded. Living there 4-1/2 years, it can be warmer sometimes than others especially mid-day or rush hours, but never uncomfortable and usually quite comfortable, safe, and best way to get around. Mexico City and it's subway/metro are amazing. I love you Mexico!
I have to disagree on you with safe amd comforable it is but you have to keep your eyes open and look around you and be careful for tourist like you no offence that makes you a big target to get robbed
Man mexico city subways looks nicer and cleaner than new york city subways. I just realized mexico city's subways uses rubber tires that's pretty cool. VIVA MEXICO❤️🇲🇽
Downside of tires, is that the train is really fast and if you’re standing, get ready to blast off and hold yourself when it stops since it’s like someone hit a emergency break
They were actually known as the Mexicans(Mesh-E-Ka). It wasn't until the early 1900s that US scholars started to us the word Aztec. The Mexica Capital then called TENOCHTILAN is what is now the downtown district(EL CENTRO) , it only encompased 10% of the city today. The rest of the boroughs have their own unique history and historical events. Chapultepec was originally Moctezumas Zoo , Austrian Hapsburg Maximillian ( Uncle of Franz Ferdinad , cousin of PEDRO 2 of Brazil) built a castle on top . Tepito even in the times of the Mexica was a black market Azcapuzalco is not on top of a lake, but it was home to the AZCAPUZALCO empire . When the Mexica arrived and founded Tenochtilan, Azcaputzalco was the empire of its day and it commanded tribute from the Mexica.
Some Metro stations in Mexico City actually do function as museums! For example the station "La Raza" serves as a Science Museum; it even has a long dark corridor with glow-in-the-dark astronomical stuff!
Daniel Smith Yes but that's because NYC has humid warm summers and very cold winters so they need that, in Mexico City they don't need that due to the fact that it's in high altitude and there temperatures are cool spring like year round.

I was born and raised in Mexico City and used to live there for 40 years and witnessed the actual construction of the subway. The stations have always been relatively clean and free from graffiti. I'm glad you were surprised at the archaeological find in Pino Suárez. That's the pyramid of Ehecatl, a minor Aztec god. There's also a tusk from a mammoth in the station Talismán (Line 4, baby blue). I'm afraid that what you point out about pickpocketing is real, mostly at peak hours. The city government once tried A/C in the trains, but it was too loud and it was not actually A/C, but fans on the ceiling, so this "experiment" was phased out. The original design of the subway was inspired by the Montreal metro, and in fact, the first trains were French (Alsthom). The rubber tires make the ride smoother and the trains are quieter.

Here is a link (in Spanish) regarding the stations: www.eluniversal.com.mx/galeria/cultura/tesoros-culturales-del-metro-de-la-ciudad-de-mexico#imagen-1 And it may be hard to believe, but a subway station is the safest place during an earthquake (I definitely can tell you that. The second 1985 earthquake hit when I was traveling between Tacuba and Panteones), and as a final "fun fact", most lines run under, over or on the streets and have a depth of about only 30 feet.

Your Spanish pronunciation isn't bad, actionkid. Mexico City uses rubber tires on their Metro like Montreal, Paris and Santiago. It presumably allows smoother, quieter rides; faster acceleration; shorter breaking distances; ability to go up sharper climbs, and reduced train track wear. When I was in CdMx i wasn't brave enough to tackle the Metro. Thank you for the ride!
That’s wrong That’s just a tourist station. The other eleven lines are a mess in full. Mexican TV broadcasts every time security videos about assaults, beatings, people jumping at the incoming train. Rush hour may be the worst in the world You can’t even get into the wagon, it’s crowded
@@robert111k That's bullsh*t, Mexico city metro is bigger and that's why it is better. There are countries like Sweden that has a very beautiful metro but it is small.
Oh how I hated the amount of people in this subway system mainly on the 2 line to zocalo when I was there a few years lol but It is much more clean the the NYC subway
I love your videos, and let me congratulate you for the incredible Videos that you made of Mexico City. The subway of Mexico City has a total length of 226km, has 12 lines, has 195 stations, and carries around 5 million people every day. It is the only Subway in the world in which each station can be identified in addition to color and number, with an image.
Maybe there's no A/C and uncomfortable when it's crowded but holy shit, the sound when the train leaves the station is sooooo gooooood. Mexico is way too far and I probably never able to visit it, but the subway looks pretty alright for me.
Mexico City Metro Opened in 1969 50 years Old The Subway uses Rubber Tires because it is Smoother and Faster Many Cities around the World use Rubber Tires Transit. The Original Invention was in Paris France then other cities adopted this Transit like Montreal Canada and Santiago Chile and Mexico City.
Francisco Gonzalez it is NOT! No es potable, aunque la gente tome no significa que lo sea. Habla por ti mismo, inténtalo y haber si no te da una salmonelosis!
@Albert Mora Yes. .. indeed, we both agree but the problem is that, such statement coming from a peasant like yourself, is worthless. PIzza Hut, Wal-Mart, KFC, etc.,will still preside in Mexico, even if the wall is built. Old age-group cohorts will tear down the fence just to come over to Mexico and enjoy their meager 800 dollar SSI check here in Mexico. YOUR imbecilic zerote opinion don't speak for the rest of the AMericans.
Mexico City dweller here, the video does capture the essence of most subway stations, and it is indeed that clean 99% of the time. Stations vary in other aspects though, so do trains. You got into some of the oldest trains, the new ones do have A/C and look a lot more modern on the inside. The subway is very safe to move around the city, unfortunately there are pickpockets but it is just a matter of holding tight to your wallet and phone. Anyway, good video.
Mexico City amen people here are beautifull keep your court clean mexicana amen don't throw rubbish on floor ppl plz keep a carer bg keep our country clean
If Mexico City's trains are crowded Imagine Tokyo I dont understand how they manage to get so many people on their train, one thing is for sure New York has the worst subways system.
there are like 20 million people living on the metropolitan area only and the metro system keeps expanding it almost borders with other states, its unbelievable
Well in Tokyo are larger with more lines and high tech...but in some of thoose lines in rush hour are employes that push people to get in the train...just try picture that.
ua-cam.com/video/xzkU6tmdImY/v-deo.html Watch to about 3:20. New Yorkers would _never_ put up with crowd-control measures like this regardless of its effectiveness.
They Metro in Mexico City looks a lot cleaner than the subway stations in NYC. Also, it looks like the cars run a lot smoother and quieter than those in NY. The problem with the NY subway is that is not well managed. The MTA never appears to have enough money to keep a good, clean and efficient system. It grew up into a monster that nobody seems to be able to fix, unfortunately.
Saludos a Chimbote, Perú! El Metro de México es grande y atiende a más de 5 millones de personas al día. Nosotros también tenemos transporte de todo tipo y a todo lugar igual que ustedes.
Brings back memories I live in new York city myself and the last time I've tooken the Mexican subway was 2011 I see that till this day the subway over there is still clean
I'm not from Mexico city, but usually water fountains are safe to drink. Most homes don't have potable tap water, but that doesn't mean that filter systems aren't set up in some places.
Those are the older lines in the cdmx metro (1-2) also more congested and "dirtier", the newer ones are much better, but by comparison it's way way way better than the NYC subway in every single aspect, cleanliness, affordability, trains, people, etc... but not just NYC, also better than BART in San Francisco, just to many zombie/hobo/ junkies and crazy people in general...
I lived in Mexico City most of my life and I used to talk crap about the metro system. And while it does have it's drawbacks as anything, living in Toronto made me realize how lucky I was. The subway here is $3.20CAD and breaks down EVERY SINGLE DAY. I miss my old metro.

It must be shocking for a New Yorker to realize that the subway looks way better in a "third world country" than in their "first world" I was born and raised in Mexico city and lived 20 years in NYC and as great NYC is, the subway and the mta suck!
@@mathewvanostin7118 the trains are orange because that was the color of the city logo when teh city was first build. Now that is different but the tradition of orange trains just stayed with us.
The subway trains looks faster than NYC’s subway trains. Wow, the stations looks like a shopping center but minus the stores ( better lighting, space, and cleanse than NYC’s subway stations). Or is this only this Subway station?
In 2017 some stations were renewed. Most stations nowadays have the original-old style. the renewed stations are in Line 1 stations (Boulevard pto aereo. Balbuena. Moctezuma. Merced. Pino Suarez. Salto del Agua. Cuauhtemoc. Insurgentes and Sevilla) In 2010 the station Isabel la catolica in linea 1 was renewed but is totally diferent and dark. In 2014 the station Revolucion in line 2 was renewed. This two stations was based to choose wich style to choose to be renewed more statios. Won Revolucion and the the stations of line 1 in 2017 were renewed
No ac inside the trains ,but the stations climate its okay ,and actualy some new trains has A.C, its mot so bad cause the mexico city whether its dry ,not humid like houston .
It was built by the same French engineers who made Paris rubber-tyred trains. You can find other subway systems like that in Montreal, Canada or Santiago de Chile, Chile
Lo unico que cuntruyo en su momento francia fueron los trenes toda la ingenieria de las estaciones fue ingenieria mexicana despues los trenes fuero echos en mexico por la compañia canadiense bombardier en ciudad shagun hidalgo mexico y el trn de montral es muy ruidoso tiene ruedad de metal
well it was really clean, plus the NYC subway is always crowded, dirty, hot and damp in the summer and freezing in the winter (the stops, while the train is literally the opposite) so wouldn't complain too much.
The CDMX metro is great! Used it only once when visited the city in 2015. Also rode the NYC subway - was shocking... dirty, some stations looked like from apocalypse movies... If you think that was crowded, try our London tube in rush hour!
Great Video. My cousin took me on the Metro and it was very crowded as well. I also had my book bag in front of me. When it gets too crowded you just have to push others to get in
It is much cleaner than the NYC MTA Subway. I saw at least One Homeless Person when the Narrator was walking through the Subway. A lot of HOmeless People in New York City and the subways. Many times the homeless Sleep on the NYC Subway cars taking Whole Benches while People are standing without a Seat. Personally, I don't think DeBlasio should be running for President. I don't think Blillio has done a very good job as Mayor of New York. Massive Homeless Problem, VEry High Rents, Massive Problems in the New York City Housing Authority, etc, etc.
Taking the subway for the first time in a different country is a struggle for me, too! But hey, when you made it, it feels great!!:-) Thx for this one, actionkid105!
I was in CDMX // Mexico City few months ago and I can say that I had good times 😀. CDMX is a huge city, but Uber is cheap. I won't recommend Taxis as they charge 2X-3X 🤑 more than Uber. I love to take pictures and make videos and upload them on my YT channel 🤗 - be safe & happy travels.
New Yorker here aswell. I visited the city back in november 2018. Heres my breakdown: Pros: Definitely much faster and smooth than our century old system. Rubber tires definitely help in that regard. Fairly easy to navigate. Nyc subway is a mess of confusion and can be challenging to understand with the various overlaping of subway lines. Much cleaner metro in mexico. You can actually sit on the floor in some stations. Our subway is filthy and crumbling. Youll never see anyone sit on the floor in new york unless theyre begging. Cons: The subway cars are way too small and narrow. Very odd choice of cars for a busy city. The transfers between other subway lines are way too far apart. Its ridiculously unreasonable the distances you must walk to change lines in Mexico city. In new york, all the transfers are fairly simple, either across the platform or an easy walk down/up some stairs or a short hallway. The payment system in Mexico is so out of date. No credit options for payment. I was unable to ride the metrobus because the plastic cards were unavailable at every station I went. They only had paper tickets which you cant use on the metrobus. We do it way better in NYC, metrocards are available everywhere and anywhere. Yes, even in convenience shops. No airconditioning or digital monitors or announcements to guide you on the metro. In NYC, the trains can be very cold but we have airconditioning atleast and there are digital monitors which display the stations and the transfers aswell as announcements. Overall, its an interesting system and enjoyed riding it very much. Good on you for taking us for the ride!
Oh, but that is whay each station has its own symbol, a quick look at the guide over the windows and the symbol outside and you know exactly where you are. That is something that always seemed odd to me from other countries systems. Why they don't assign symbols to each station to make things easier?
@@MrBroncolinShows You can't compare a Metro sistem that moves 7 million people a day to a metro that only moves like 100,000 people or less with a very few stations vs 195 Stations, not to mention that some lines already have AC installed and State of the Art last generation cars.
Wow it look incredible clean, I'm from Phoenix AZ, and we only have light rail, always late, expensive $4 trip and have to wait 30min to 1 hour for the next one, there are a lot of homeless sleeping on the stops and almost all of them small bad with tons of trash and there is not a/c with a 120 F weather almost all year, I don't know why you complaint about not having ac if Mexico city always have good weather 80F max temperatures in summer, winters 40F and 25cents a trip , thats a pretty good price.
Nobody should complaint about the Mexico City Metro, the ticket just cost 25 cents of a dollar (5 Mexican pesos) while the ticket for one ride in The New York subway cost THREE DOLLARS that is 12 TIMES MORE. Besides the New York Subway is filthy and noisy because it uses steel wheels.
Good call on the water. Non-potable for tourists maybe? Interesting perspective. Probably not rush hour but it doesn't look crowded. I didn't even know Mexico City had a metro. Very cool. -Henry
Yes, I should have suspected given it is such a big city. I guess I was thinking that you have a lot of water around (is this correct) and wouldn't lend itself to tunnels. Foolish me. But thanks for the info. -H
@@CityWalks mexico city was build over a lake (Texcoco) The aztecs build Tenochtitlan over the lake when spaniards arrived destroyed the city and build the new city called mexico to honored the mexicas or aztecs. It was like around the city and inside city with channels. In middle 1800 the government started to dry the lake. And the city started to be expanded in the remained base of the lake. Mexico city started to study to have subway in 1930 but was declined the plan cause the land was not good and also is a hot earthquakes spot to have tunnels. In 1965 took the plan again and was approved with help of enginers from France to start build subway....
Very cool and impressive. Thanks for that info. I've only been to the south of Mexico and to Leon, never Mexico City. I've always heard great things about the capitol though. -H
Fun fact: in Chabacano Station that is a hub for Mexico City Metro System lines 2, 8 and 9, there were filmed some scenes of the 80’s movie “Total Recall”. Back then, some Metro trains were modified for the move, nowadays we started to have screens with announcements in each wagon like in the movie, and yes, sometimes I feel like in a Cyberpunk scenario 😂 😎
Oooh, going worlwide bro, hah!🤙 Pretty interesting content, tho. Keep on pushing! Yea, rubber wheels is a cool thing and sound much quieter but I guess they have shorter operational peroid than those that made from steel... May be...
I lol at the “No announcement” portion. Being a native NY er, most of our subway announcements are barely audible. CDMX subway is amazing for the price you pay. Also don’t forget that senior citizens (over 60) ride for free in the metro with an Inapam card.
For your information, the trains on the Blue Line (Line 2) has automated next station announcements, but they don't always work like they do on the Gold Line (Line 12) which opened in October 2012. And I believe Line 12 has A/C on the trains.
Wow nice and clean 🧼 floors nothing to compare with NYC subway and as you know Mexico City’s is 3/4 times bigger then NYC that’s is why is so crowded so stop complaining dude
I have used both the Mexico City Metro and the Chicago CTA trains. There is a huge difference between the two. Metro is clean and I feel safe. CTA is filthy and unsafe. At the Metro you see very few homeless using the train. The CTA the homeless use it like a shelter. They go to one end of the line and then switch to another one going the other way. CTA authorities say nothing just make them move. I understand climate and culture play a big role in the differences.
The metro in Mexico City costs 25cents nobody should be allowed to complain.
streak88s facts.
He's an entitled king new Yorker. He get's to bitch like a bitch and not complain.
streak88s 25 cents, even cheaper than Chinese metro. In Shanghai, it cost 3 RMB (43 US cents) to ride 6 km. Price increase 1 RMB (14 cents) per 10km.

Your Spanish pronunciation isn't bad, actionkid. Mexico City uses rubber tires on their Metro like Montreal, Paris and Santiago. It presumably allows smoother, quieter rides; faster acceleration; shorter breaking distances; ability to go up sharper climbs, and reduced train track wear. When I was in CdMx i wasn't brave enough to tackle the Metro. Thank you for the ride!
Only one line in Paris uses rubber tires.
@@certifiedforkliftdriver9987 Which line is that?
@@yixnorb5971 ligne 6

Mexico City subway it's 100 times better than NYC subway
and 100 times worse than any European subway.
That’s wrong That’s just a tourist station. The other eleven lines are a mess in full. Mexican TV broadcasts every time security videos about assaults, beatings, people jumping at the incoming train. Rush hour may be the worst in the world You can’t even get into the wagon, it’s crowded

Pink line Is worse
Yes is worst line...
Not all stations are as nice as that one but it’s generally a great system. Much better than Toronto and the rubber wheels are quieter for sure.
All stations are clean ,thats what matters

I love your videos, and let me congratulate you for the incredible Videos that you made of Mexico City. The subway of Mexico City has a total length of 226km, has 12 lines, has 195 stations, and carries around 5 million people every day. It is the only Subway in the world in which each station can be identified in addition to color and number, with an image.
Maybe there's no A/C and uncomfortable when it's crowded but holy shit, the sound when the train leaves the station is sooooo gooooood. Mexico is way too far and I probably never able to visit it, but the subway looks pretty alright for me.
It looked cleaner than NYC Metro well done Mexico !
Mexico City Metro Opened in 1969 50 years Old The Subway uses Rubber Tires because it is Smoother and Faster Many Cities around the World use Rubber Tires Transit. The Original Invention was in Paris France then other cities adopted this Transit like Montreal Canada and Santiago Chile and Mexico City.
Rol Over The Mexico City Subway is turning 50 this coming September.
As a Brazilian from São Paulo, I was surprised how different the people and subway are from here, I found the trains and stations very beautiful.
"Tap water is not potable in Mexico City, or so they say" "I wonder why they have drinking fountains" Well duh! Maybe because it is potable?
No ... You can't drink the water . At your own risk
All non purified water in America is contaminated water thanks to the fluoride they put in it.
the fountains in the CDMX subway is purified water they have filters, they wouldn't offer water to drink if is not drinkable like Flint Michigan!
Francisco Gonzalez it is NOT! No es potable, aunque la gente tome no significa que lo sea. Habla por ti mismo, inténtalo y haber si no te da una salmonelosis!
@@manuworlding si el agua no es potable, ¿por que ponen bebederos para que la gente la tome?
Incredible marble flooring, marble-walled interiors everywhere. Thanks for this insight. Both opulent and civic-minded.
Looks much better than their neighbour. Maybe Mexico needs the wall in the North from them lol.
@Albert Mora Yes. .. indeed, we both agree but the problem is that, such statement coming from a peasant like yourself, is worthless.
PIzza Hut, Wal-Mart, KFC, etc.,will still preside in Mexico, even if the wall is built. Old age-group cohorts will tear down the fence just to come over to Mexico and enjoy their meager 800 dollar SSI check here in Mexico. YOUR imbecilic zerote opinion don't speak for the rest of the AMericans.
Albert Mora with Mora as your last name and supporting the wall.. what a loon
To keep this bitchy queen idiot from going down to Mexico.
Mexico City dweller here, the video does capture the essence of most subway stations, and it is indeed that clean 99% of the time. Stations vary in other aspects though, so do trains. You got into some of the oldest trains, the new ones do have A/C and look a lot more modern on the inside. The subway is very safe to move around the city, unfortunately there are pickpockets but it is just a matter of holding tight to your wallet and phone.
Anyway, good video.

I have lived between Mexico city ,and NYC, the difference in the subway system is huge.
If Mexico City's trains are crowded Imagine Tokyo I dont understand how they manage to get so many people on their train, one thing is for sure New York has the worst subways system.
there are like 20 million people living on the metropolitan area only
and the metro system keeps expanding it almost borders with other states, its unbelievable
Well in Tokyo are larger with more lines and high tech...but in some of thoose lines in rush hour are employes that push people to get in the train...just try picture that.
Tokyo has disciplined people who actually follow the rules so problems are minimal. Also Japanese work ethic.
ua-cam.com/video/xzkU6tmdImY/v-deo.html
Watch to about 3:20. New Yorkers would _never_ put up with crowd-control measures like this regardless of its effectiveness.
People are the difference. In Tokyo they respect the signs and each other’s personal space. They’re far more educated than people in Mexico city
They Metro in Mexico City looks a lot cleaner than the subway stations in NYC. Also, it looks like the cars run a lot smoother and quieter than those in NY. The problem with the NY subway is that is not well managed. The MTA never appears to have enough money to keep a good, clean and efficient system. It grew up into a monster that nobody seems to be able to fix, unfortunately.

I would like to tell you that your subway is plagued with rats and it is way dirtier than the one in CDMX.
Indeed, I see many rats and dirty stations in New York!
Brings back memories I live in new York city myself and the last time I've tooken the Mexican subway was 2011 I see that till this day the subway over there is still clean
It looks so mighty clean...in there..,😲👌
Yes but outside in the street it is very poluded, a lot of people selling piracy and very crowded
Dagoberto Pulido yeah like there is none of that in downtown LA, Chicago, etc.
V GP Chicago no, LA yes.
I'm not from Mexico city, but usually water fountains are safe to drink. Most homes don't have potable tap water, but that doesn't mean that filter systems aren't set up in some places.
Those are the older lines in the cdmx metro (1-2) also more congested and "dirtier", the newer ones are much better, but by comparison it's way way way better than the NYC subway in every single aspect, cleanliness, affordability, trains, people, etc... but not just NYC, also better than BART in San Francisco, just to many zombie/hobo/ junkies and crazy people in general...
I lived in Mexico City most of my life and I used to talk crap about the metro system. And while it does have it's drawbacks as anything, living in Toronto made me realize how lucky I was. The subway here is $3.20CAD and breaks down EVERY SINGLE DAY. I miss my old metro.
There are schedules that the subway is impossible, but is not so bad, very very cheap, it costs like a quarter of dollar.. nothing..

30 years ago I was a kid walking on these metro stations with my dad. Interesting to see how much they gave improved!
It must be shocking for a New Yorker to realize that the subway looks way better in a "third world country" than in their "first world" I was born and raised in Mexico city and lived 20 years in NYC and as great NYC is, the subway and the mta suck!
From the exterior these trains sounds so much like Paris Line 14, 4 and 1 trains
Its also same train system than montreal metro. Except their train are painted orange 😂
This is because our subway was built by French Designers
The company that built the trains for the metro system is french actually.
@@mathewvanostin7118 the trains are orange because that was the color of the city logo when teh city was first build.
Now that is different but the tradition of orange trains just stayed with us.
The subway trains looks faster than NYC’s subway trains. Wow, the stations looks like a shopping center but minus the stores ( better lighting, space, and cleanse than NYC’s subway stations). Or is this only this Subway station?
I only visited 3 subway stations but they were all very clean and well lit from what I could tell.
actionkid105 thank you for the fast reply.
In 2017 some stations were renewed. Most stations nowadays have the original-old style. the renewed stations are in Line 1 stations (Boulevard pto aereo. Balbuena. Moctezuma. Merced. Pino Suarez. Salto del Agua. Cuauhtemoc. Insurgentes and Sevilla) In 2010 the station Isabel la catolica in linea 1 was renewed but is totally diferent and dark. In 2014 the station Revolucion in line 2 was renewed. This two stations was based to choose wich style to choose to be renewed more statios. Won Revolucion and the the stations of line 1 in 2017 were renewed
Yes they’re all like that, fairly clean
TheFreeBirdForever There's actually a subway station that leads into a brand new two story mall!
besides the lack of AC, which I agree can suck but CDMX is not usually super hot, this metro is better in every single way than the NYC subway.
No ac inside the trains ,but the stations climate its okay ,and actualy some new trains has A.C, its mot so bad cause the mexico city whether its dry ,not humid like houston .
It looks 1000x cleaner than any metro in NYC, it costs next to nothing, and looks very nice. You're complaining about this? Shut up.

It was built by the same French engineers who made Paris rubber-tyred trains. You can find other subway systems like that in Montreal, Canada or Santiago de Chile, Chile

French engineers? man, you are so full of s*&it. Get educated before commenting.
well it was really clean, plus the NYC subway is always crowded, dirty, hot and damp in the summer and freezing in the winter (the stops, while the train is literally the opposite) so wouldn't complain too much.
And the NY subway its full of hoodlums
The CDMX metro is great! Used it only once when visited the city in 2015. Also rode the NYC subway - was shocking... dirty, some stations looked like from apocalypse movies... If you think that was crowded, try our London tube in rush hour!
Hi jay I just found out the cdmx metro is an actual s in ay
I think it was NYC subway that was one of the main characters of the old The Warriors movie
Great Video. My cousin took me on the Metro and it was very crowded as well. I also had my book bag in front of me. When it gets too crowded you just have to push others to get in
Its potable water now in Mexico City. Unlike many apartment buildings in NYC with lead pipe water-service-entries. Lol

It is much cleaner than the NYC MTA Subway. I saw at least One Homeless Person when the Narrator was walking through the Subway. A lot of HOmeless People in New York City and the subways. Many times the homeless Sleep on the NYC Subway cars taking Whole Benches while People are standing without a Seat.
Personally, I don't think DeBlasio should be running for President. I don't think Blillio has done a very good job as Mayor of New York. Massive Homeless Problem, VEry High Rents, Massive Problems in the New York City Housing Authority, etc, etc.

Alan Merlin Bergeron Mexico City is 10 million, suburbs (called Mexico State) are another 10 million.
I was in CDMX // Mexico City few months ago and I can say that I had good times 😀. CDMX is a huge city, but Uber is cheap. I won't recommend Taxis as they charge 2X-3X 🤑 more than Uber. I love to take pictures and make videos and upload them on my YT channel 🤗 - be safe & happy travels.
New Yorker here aswell. I visited the city back in november 2018. Heres my breakdown:
Pros:
Definitely much faster and smooth than our century old system. Rubber tires definitely help in that regard.
Fairly easy to navigate. Nyc subway is a mess of confusion and can be challenging to understand with the various overlaping of subway lines.
Much cleaner metro in mexico. You can actually sit on the floor in some stations. Our subway is filthy and crumbling. Youll never see anyone sit on the floor in new york unless theyre begging.
Cons:
The subway cars are way too small and narrow. Very odd choice of cars for a busy city.
The transfers between other subway lines are way too far apart. Its ridiculously unreasonable the distances you must walk to change lines in Mexico city. In new york, all the transfers are fairly simple, either across the platform or an easy walk down/up some stairs or a short hallway.
The payment system in Mexico is so out of date. No credit options for payment. I was unable to ride the metrobus because the plastic cards were unavailable at every station I went. They only had paper tickets which you cant use on the metrobus. We do it way better in NYC, metrocards are available everywhere and anywhere. Yes, even in convenience shops.
No airconditioning or digital monitors or announcements to guide you on the metro. In NYC, the trains can be very cold but we have airconditioning atleast and there are digital monitors which display the stations and the transfers aswell as announcements.
Overall, its an interesting system and enjoyed riding it very much. Good on you for taking us for the ride!
Excellent breakdown! I totally agree with you.
Oh, but that is whay each station has its own symbol, a quick look at the guide over the windows and the symbol outside and you know exactly where you are.
That is something that always seemed odd to me from other countries systems. Why they don't assign symbols to each station to make things easier?
Funny, everything you complained about, has already been taken care of, now you can Pat with your phone using Apple Pay
In Guadalajara, the subway stations are similar. The train has A/C and it’s cleaner.
But is way smaller , can't compare. FYI Golden line, línea 12 has A/C
Ave María well that’s true
Guadalajara's metro is a piece of shit. No comparison....we're talking big leagues.
@@Smith-nk2wu Well, you should try the new metro line...
@@MrBroncolinShows You can't compare a Metro sistem that moves 7 million people a day to a metro that only moves like 100,000 people or less with a very few stations vs 195 Stations, not to mention that some lines already have AC installed and State of the Art last generation cars.
Remember that there are +22 MILLION People living in Mexico City. It has 12 lines and I think It's ok. The system is fast, clean and cheap.
It can't be ok. There are a lot of smaller cities that have more lines and kms.
@@robert111k in first world countries, we are just a developing country
Tap water is completely potable, that's why there's fountains.
Wow it look incredible clean, I'm from Phoenix AZ, and we only have light rail, always late, expensive $4 trip and have to wait 30min to 1 hour for the next one, there are a lot of homeless sleeping on the stops and almost all of them small bad with tons of trash and there is not a/c with a 120 F weather almost all year, I don't know why you complaint about not having ac if Mexico city always have good weather 80F max temperatures in summer, winters 40F and 25cents a trip , thats a pretty good price.
for 25 cents dollar, you can not ask for more
You should worry about Akatsuki at 5:45 👀
Nobody should complaint about the Mexico City Metro, the ticket just cost 25 cents of a dollar (5 Mexican pesos) while the ticket for one ride in The New York subway cost THREE DOLLARS that is 12 TIMES MORE. Besides the New York Subway is filthy and noisy because it uses steel wheels.
Good call on the water. Non-potable for tourists maybe? Interesting perspective. Probably not rush hour but it doesn't look crowded. I didn't even know Mexico City had a metro. Very cool. -Henry
We have 12 lines of subways
Yes, I should have suspected given it is such a big city. I guess I was thinking that you have a lot of water around (is this correct) and wouldn't lend itself to tunnels. Foolish me. But thanks for the info. -H
@@CityWalks mexico city was build over a lake (Texcoco) The aztecs build Tenochtitlan over the lake when spaniards arrived destroyed the city and build the new city called mexico to honored the mexicas or aztecs. It was like around the city and inside city with channels. In middle 1800 the government started to dry the lake. And the city started to be expanded in the remained base of the lake. Mexico city started to study to have subway in 1930 but was declined the plan cause the land was not good and also is a hot earthquakes spot to have tunnels. In 1965 took the plan again and was approved with help of enginers from France to start build subway....

Fun fact: in Chabacano Station that is a hub for Mexico City Metro System lines 2, 8 and 9, there were filmed some scenes of the 80’s movie “Total Recall”. Back then, some Metro trains were modified for the move, nowadays we started to have screens with announcements in each wagon like in the movie, and yes, sometimes I feel like in a Cyberpunk scenario 😂 😎
The movie aesthetic is so underrated and that station is one of the best in the world cause of it.
Watching out of order but loving your Mexico City videos. Those trains come in pretty fast #heartwasracing
Your videos are addictive! I like specially the narrated ones. Greetings from Spain.
Oooh, going worlwide bro, hah!🤙 Pretty interesting content, tho. Keep on pushing! Yea, rubber wheels is a cool thing and sound much quieter but I guess they have shorter operational peroid than those that made from steel... May be...
I lol at the “No announcement” portion. Being a native NY er, most of our subway announcements are barely audible.
CDMX subway is amazing for the price you pay. Also don’t forget that senior citizens (over 60) ride for free in the metro with an Inapam card.

For your information, the trains on the Blue Line (Line 2) has automated next station announcements, but they don't always work like they do on the Gold Line (Line 12) which opened in October 2012. And I believe Line 12 has A/C on the trains.
New York is horrible dirty old ,expensive, delays but yeah so expensive as fk.oh and noisy.
I was in Mexico City back in the 90s and the metro was far worse than today, it still needs some improvement but at least there's progress.
Wow nice and clean 🧼 floors nothing to compare with NYC subway and as you know Mexico City’s is 3/4 times bigger then NYC that’s is why is so crowded so stop complaining dude
I have used both the Mexico City Metro and the Chicago CTA trains. There is a huge difference between the two. Metro is clean and I feel safe. CTA is filthy and unsafe. At the Metro you see very few homeless using the train. The CTA the homeless use it like a shelter. They go to one end of the line and then switch to another one going the other way. CTA authorities say nothing just make them move. I understand climate and culture play a big role in the differences.
Just what i asked for... Great video.
Damn didn’t expect it to be so much better than our shitty nyc metro
Alexis Toxqui Transportation systems in Mexico is better than in the USA.
damn if nyc trains were this fast, i could wake up at 7 and arrive on time
