@@AndriiZhulidov you didnt compare the bike lanes. CDMX has far superior netowkr of dedicated bike lanes that make the use of bikes actually realistic for a large city. NYC definitely more dangerous to bike around.
Well yes but no, what he showed was mostly the mobilidad integrada Network that is fairly nice, but I'd say most of the short rides, and specially the wones that are non around the city center, like on the southern parts of the city like Xochimilco and milpalta, or the eastern part of the city where Iztapalapa is are done in the micros, which are ugly smaller buses he showed that are always full and the doors don't close, and the combis, which are vans that have the same problems as the micros, also it's is worth mentioning that a lot of routes of micro and combi are VERY insecure and you should not trvel regularly there if you have an expensive phone
That one where you were uncomfy is called “microbus” And the main reason we use them is because those are the only that arrives the suburbs and stretch streets
@@AndriiZhulidov well basically they're subcontracted by the governments from Mexico City and Mexico state, to cover the farthest suburbs. Do just because of that I don't think they will change much, yes they are not great but that's the only option available to get to the slumps.
@@AndriiZhulidov we are planning of getting rid of the "Microbuses" as they're really polluting the environment of the City, building electric public transportation systems, as the Trolebus or the Light Train.
Lol people fail to mention there are some of these that will drive like demons, including the combis, so they get to places faster. It's both a blessing and a curse. You got a slow one it looks like.
I enjoyed your video. The Microbuses or "peseros" were a quick solution to overcome the insane demand for public transportation in the early nineties and it is a private system which means that every bus is owned by an individual who takes a bank loan and does the driving himself or hires a driver. Before this, the peseros were ordinary cars, if you look for videos from the 1970s and 1980s you'll see a lot of four door Ford Galaxy or Chevy Nova cars that were spacious and could carry up to 4 passengers. As this became insufficient, then the VW Combis started to replace those cars and could carry up to 10 and sometimes even eleven people. The name "pesero" is attributed to the fact that the initial cost for a ride was $1 peso but that was in the late 1960s
Great video. I just recently learned that Wyman also designed the metro map for Washington DC. I love riding the subway in Mexico City... when it is not crowded. When the conditions are optimal you can go from one of the city to the other very quickly.
Hi I just found your video. We use the "camiones" and "peseros" because they have very specific routes to very specific places, and usually they leave you closer to those places, the "movilidad integrada" ones are only in the main streets so we would have to walk more.
@@AndriiZhulidov many many parts of the world are not in "first world" shape, and going there to complain on behalf of locals and then posting that online comes off as ignorance, not empathy.
@@figgettitidk bro, I guess I did kind of cringe a bit when he said he doesn't know why people use the micros and combis, but I feel like this is better that people from outside thinking the whole city is as nice as the zócalo and paseo de la reforma, and the ugly pacts being ignored
Yeah, we were just on a pesero and we almost got seriously hurt when the driver slammed the brakes. It also didn't stop where Google Maps said it would. Never again.
Thanks for the great video Andrii. Very informative. I like that you venture beyond the touristic districts which are really nice but Mexico City has so much more to offer. The transportation system is expanding all the time. Here are some of the highlights coming in the next two years. -Line 12 expansion from Metro Mixcoac to Metro Observatorio -Intercity train between Toluca-Mexico City with Mexico City stations at Santa Fe, Vasco de Quiroga and Metro Observatorio. This one I'm really looking forward to as it will be on elevated rails with great views of the mountains and forests surrounding the city -Cablecar Line 3 to the west connecting with Metro Constituyentes and Line 4 to the south connecting with Metro Universidad -Expansion of Ecobici by 40%. This will also include a complete revamp of the existing stations and bikes -Expansion of suburban rail train to the new Mexico City International Airport north of the city That's without mentioning the capital improvement projects in existing systems like the metro. This video gives a good summary with more details than you probably care to know haha. ua-cam.com/video/Hj6xnBZtL-8/v-deo.html
Wow! Thank you very much for your comment! I've heard only about train to Toluca, everything else was new information! This is great that public transportation expands as city expands as well. Great news about Ecobici, hope the bike lines will be developed as well!
Hay otro servicio integrado que se llama TREN LIGERO, está al sur de la a ciudad, es similar al metro pero con menos velocidad y capacidad, también el TREN SUBURBANO, este se encuentra al norte de la ciudad, igual muy similar al metro, pero este sistema integra a municipios del estado de México y territorio de la ciudad de México, diferentes entidades que forman la zona metropolitana, y por último está en construcción el TREN INTERURBANO MÉXICO TOLUCA que comunicara 2 ciudades muy cercanas en el centro del país
Thank you! Yes, I've seen Tren Ligero which goes from Coyoacan to Xochemilco. I remember I was surprised as it was labeled with the same sign as Trolleybuses have.
@@AndriiZhulidovThe Light Rail and the Trolleybuses are operated by the same local government company called Transportes Eléctricos (Electric Transports) and thus they share the same logo although they’re different methods of transport.
Hello, at minute 7:20 it is not Mexico City, (CDMX). there is the State of Mexico (EDOMEX) and thousands of workers from small towns all over the country live there, and also many Central and South Americans who have come to live there and make the place more chaotic.
This was a very well done video, very fascinating to see how well connected and developed all those different modes look. I have a bit of a collection of metro cards from different cities and the one there looks like it's really cool to have
Muy buen contenido. Great content and well presented. It was a fun video and it did represent the real life experience of the public transportation in Mexico City. Cheers!
I love that there's variety and definitely agree about the cable car being the best. I didn't realize how inexpensive it is to travel around the city although I would need to get used to no A/C.
Yes, it might not seem expensive to some, but believe me, people who have to take a cable car every day for 7 pesos, some time would take much more uncomfortable peseros if they are 5 pesos. But yes, you can eve say that $8-10 ride from the airport to the city center in the Uber is damn cheap!
@@AndriiZhulidov, update, I went to Mexico City last weekend and road the Cable Cars. What a super resource for the people in those areas. There were children riding to school. Thanks again for the information.
Thank you for this video!! I am going to CdMx in September and wanted to know about the mass transit. I prefer at least trying mass transit when i visit anywhere to not be such a tourist. Can wait to try the Periferico (cable car).
Thank you for your comment! This is great that you want to explore real Cuidad de Mexico. There are a couple of cable car lines in the city. The one I showed in the video is CableBus, owned by the city of Mexico. Also there is another cable car system with two lines which is called MexiCable, which is owned by State of Mexico. If you are going to CDMX soon, you might check out my other videos about Architecture, Parks and Sounds of Mexico City. There are a lot of fun stuff that might be interesting for you!
Hi! En el 2024 se inaugurará la línea 3 del cablebus y pasará por el parque del Bosque de Chapultepec, estoy segura que esa línea será la predilecta de muchos mexicanos y extranjeros.... saludos y bienvenidos a Ciudad de México... ❤
Amazing content, thank you! Regarding your question: The Camión/microbus/pecero/combi are normally used because they cover routes that those of the Movilidad Integrada doesn't. Movilidad integrada contains the backbone of the transporte público in México City, but these other routes can normally take you all the way inside neighborhoods in different administrative regions of the megalopolis (México City/ Estado de México/Hidalgo). I would note that the Tren Ligero and the Tren Suburbano are not mentioned in this video (the first takes you to the Estadio Azteca and Xochimilco, the second to the north and, in a few years, to the new airport). Then there's the transporte público of the Estado de México... but thats way more complicated haha. Thanks!
Thank you very much for your detailed explanation in the comment! I understand the argument behind the need of camions, but I also noticed them on the routes where buses or trolleybuses exist as well, like along Division del Norte. Tren Ligero is interesting, I took it once on Calzada de Tlalpan, I was surprised to see that Tren Ligero is labeled with the same logo as Trolleybuses are!
@@AndriiZhulidov I can answer your question about the micros on the same routes as the Movilidad Integrada, and the answer is just wait times and efficiency, most people will just take the first one to arrive (or as mentioned before, they will take you places others won’t (you can see where they’ll take you in the signs they have on the front)), the other reason is that in the rush hour, you need all the buses or otherwise they queues would be enormous. Also they are a legacy of an old time when they were the only mean of public transportation in the city (besides the metro), nowadays it’s much of a hassle for the government and for the people to get rid of them because they’re privately owned and there’s a lot of controversy around their removal.
This was a really awesome video. Really well-made and insightful. Five stars! Thanks for sharing, Andrii. I'm subscribing! Please share more on Mexico City.
I liked seeing this video! When I'm there-CDMX-I'm hestitant (scared?) to use the public system so I call Uber. Then I just get caught-up in a whole lot of surface congestion. You opened my eyes to an alternative. Thanks!
Andrii, the green microbuses are being replaced by larger and more comfortable purple buses, these are concessions to private companies and they are already forcing them to improve their services
@@AndriiZhulidov 🤯... Seriously... I can't believe it, but at the same time yes, it's only been three years since they started with that program, and it's because those guys have always done what they wanted, it's even this administration that is putting them on the line, It is a case of corruption of the previous governments
La razón porqué usamos más el transporte privado, llámese combis o camiones o microbuses, es porque tienen mucho más rutas y te llevan hacia los extremos de la ciudad lo que llamamos zona conurbada. El metro puede acercarte pero siempre hay que tomar uno de estos "micros" para llegar a destino. No son tan malos, lo que más nos preocupa es encontrar lugar en hora pico 😅 Buen viaje!
Thanks! Really good video! I've wanted to take that teleférico since it opened Sometimes the camiones are there so you hop on, usually they go to "under served areas", so there really isn't a choice
Thank you! I see, I just saw that some camiones only duplicate the buses or trolleybuses, so here choice is obvious it this case. Hoverer, I noticed that camiones are faster and comes more often, maybe another reason to choose them
I’m so glad you decided to walk around that neighborhood outside the cablebus, you experienced what 0.1% of tourists experience, and only do if they have relatives here or if it’s a farmer’s market in a nice place of town. Very good, you now have barrio with you.
OMG I was on a caminí ones and the driver was driving like a mad man! I had to go on one with my cousin, because she didn’t have enough money for an Uber. The driver was speeding and almost ran over a man that was yelling at him on the rode to stop! It was so packed that a man was hanging on at the door entrance. Yes I thought for sure he was going to fall out of the bus. I had my eyes closed and prayed that we would get to our stop in one piece.
In Juarez, they’re just school buses that are redesigned and get packed too, it’s either that or Uber. They have started working on a rapid transit system, but again camiones work for the average person, I used to even help by riding around one and yelling out the stops when the door opened
Completo tu video, los micro buses se han ido reemplazando paulatinamente por los otros servicos de trasnporte, falto el tren ligero que va de la estacion metro Taxqueña a Xochimilco, y el tren interurbano de la cdmx al estado de Mexico, me gusto por la objetividad con que lo desribiste
A mexican faces reality when he uses a pesero. You sacrifice comfort and quality for practicality and cheapness. One of those reaches to where the others don't, saves you walking, and people merely have accepted the discomfort as a test of resilience in life. 😂 Lately the city has replaced them for newer units in some places, and they've gotten more expensive. Soon they might be made obsolete by the expanding trolleybuses and metrobuses.
I hope you check Tren suburbano next time, it is a really good option that helps us get from the north area to Mexico City in a fast, safe and comfortable way
watch out for pick-pockets on the metro and metrobus... speaking from experience. Note that once inside the Metro you can transfer indefinitely onto other lines without paying extra, but you cannot transfer on the buses without paying again. If you take the Metrobus to the airport there is an extra charge of 50 pesos. Great system.... use it all the time whenever I am in CDMX.
@@rafi9374 I have to say I’m a bit disappointed with this phone as I expected more. Main camera is not that much better for video compering to iPhone 11 Pro Max. It still sucks in low light and other cameras 0.5x & 3x are not much better either. Most of my previous videos are filmed with iPhone 11 Pro Max and I’m not sure if people can notice the difference.
next time you should talk to locals about pros and cons. eg. ecobici you have to be careful that they don't charge you by mistake or that you fail to mount the bike back on the rack, refunds are a bit of a pain in the ass if there is some mistake.
I flew in and out of CDMX many times, but never my flight was happening via AIFA. I definitely would love to make a video about the airport! Do you actually like it?
I just found it very weird as you basically put corn flour in wheat flour, not healthy at all and horrible for digestion. But probably keeps you going for a while as it stays like a brick in a stomach for a while.
There is also "torta de chilaquiles" that is the exact same concept, exept that with chilaquiles. The rest of mexico sees us wierd because of this foods but honestly is worth it. Just a bit of history for if someone is interested both of this foods where probably created because of a lack of resources however they cach on, in part because of the ease of preparation and cheapness. Great video a shame I just watch it now I would of like to participate in the discussion.
Whatever you do, do NOT take the buses with the purple icons on Google Maps. Those are peseros, not part of the Metro system, and you will be lucky if they take you where they're supposed to.
The metro bus from paseo de la reforma are from England, are double decker like the ones from London. Actually, when they bring those buses to Mexico City. for making publicity, some metro stations where painted like underground stations from London
Wow for a city so incredibly large/crowded the stations are incredibly clean. Here in San Francisco, Calif...they are filled with zombies (drug addicts) and trash.
@@blackhole2021 yes, I was in Mexico at that time when it happened. I wanted to mention that accident and how people think it is connected with corruption during construction, but decided not to add it to the video.
We use the unconfortable buses cause metro, metrobus, trolleys, etc. don't cover enought of the city, three years ago i used to take a bus like that to get to university but now there is a new metrobús line and now i take that, but still prefer metro over buses
I found your channel just now...I love your content and you won a new follower too! ;-) fun fact NYC metro system is gross... OMG I could not believe it was in such horrible shape...with so many homeless, and people with mental illness, and full of giant rats, !!! No comparison with CDMX
I totally get it! I spend more than a year in CDMX and it indeed never gets too hot. But I believe that comfortable public transportation should have A/C. I felt hot with no fresh air in the subway lines that are underground and in buses during hot days.
@@AndriiZhulidov yeah, it gets way too hot when theres a lot of people trying to get to work or to get home, but with a price as cheap as 5 pesos (before it was even cheaper, 3 pesos only) i'm totally happy with having no AC x3
I wonder if you can expand on why you like NY city subway and why did you think that Mexico's city was "not very nice but it is decent"? Having used but systems, I cannot even imagine where that correlation comes from. NY city's is loud and extremely dirty which is the complete oposite of Mexico's. So, I wonder what's the perspective from which you see it.
Hi, thanks for your comment! I haven't directly compared two subway systems, only referenced a couple of times the numbers as they are first and second largest subway systems in North America. I mentioned at the beginning that I really like NY Subway. Why I like NY Subway system? I like the aesthetics of graphic design, being able to get pretty much anywhere on Manhattan and most places in Brooklyn/Queens, uniqueness of the stations and some other factors that I can't get from the top of my head right now. Does it suck? Oh yeah, it does, subway is not my first choice and most of the time I prefer to use bicycle. Also, I would never say that NY subway is nice, because it is not at all, haha. Why I said "not very nice, but it is decent"? Because I don't feel like it is very nice. In my mind very nice is subway in Tokyo, U-Bahn systems in Germany, Stockholm has very nice metro, Brussels I liked as well, I would say most European metro systems are very nice, including Warsaw and Kyiv. How CDMX subway is different? I feel like there are too many merchants screaming in the cars, all windows are stretched by graffiti, all seats are not comfy (anti vandal plastic and metal is not great), no A/C, safety (from pit-pocketing to train falling on the highway, due to corrupt construction)... decent means that it is still good, I would ride it any time I'm in CDMX again. Hope it answers your questions!
@@AndriiZhulidov Thank you for the reply. Fully agree with "too many merchants screaming in the cars" and "no A/C". Safety... while true that there is pit-pocketing, I think that is pretty much every where. Personally, I was pit-pocketed in NY once, and never in Mexico. But I know that it is and issue there too. as for Graffiti and uncomfortable seats... NY graffiti I think is worst and plastic seat are fairly common is most train system. In my experience, European systems are marginally better and Japan's and China are far ahead.
Fortunately Microbuses are on the wey to disapear from the urban scenary pretty soon in CDMX and they all are being replaced by brand new purple color more modern units.
I would like to remind the gringo that the first country that implemented a cable car as a means of mass transportation was Colombia, in the city of Medellín, the original idea began and began here in 2004.
Duh ...ppl take those smaller buses because they are more conveniente for some ppl in as far as bus stops, the other services have specific shops and on those smaller buses the driver can pretty much stop where ever you need him to stop. Simple really. Also, yes those more modern buses do have a/c, perhaps you felt hot because of the sheer number of bodies in there and because ppl take it upon themselves to crack open the windows so ofc all the heat from outside comes in. Believe me, buses in the states aren't much better. Buses and stations in cdMX are way clean in comparison as well.
19:45 they tell you that you own them 500 pesos for the video and then talked about some woman’s watch (was so big that looks like a compass 🧭 or a wall clock)
14:37 - looks like there is AC in trolleybus (probably it is not launched - typically for poor countries; the same in Ukraine). The fare in trolleybuses - absurdly cheap. Where do they get money for maintenance? From what resources they produce electricity in Mexico? Coal, gas, ... ?
Hhhm, I don't think it actually is an AC, maybe just ventilation. Those trolleybuses are made in China, and they have batteries on the top and can ride for a while without connection to the electrical lines. The fare is cheap, because there are a lot of people who are very poor, so it affordable for them. Despite all stereotypes, Mexico is big and rich country, the are 16th in GDP in the world ( in 2021 Ukraine was 55th) and Mexico's GDP per capita was $18.6k (70th in the World in 2017) & Ukraine's GDP per capita was $8.6 (112th in the World in 2017).
Late responde but the public transporte in México City is heavily subsidized by the federal government, thats why punlic transporte is so cheap in the city, México produces electricity from many resources, coal, gas, nuclear power, hidroeléctric
Wow! I didn't know about this! I actually had a thought to buy them and let them free into the wild. But then it would mean that they would catch new ones and have no idea where I would let those animals go around Mexico City. Very sad!
¡Hola, pero qué gran video!. Sinceramente me atrevería a decirte que conociste más partes de la ciudad que muchos de los que vivimos aquí. Debo decirte varias precisiones, el cablebus de la ciudad fue pensado para beneficiar la movilidad de las personas que por muchos años, décadas han sido olvidados. Por ello, no hay como tal lugares turísticos, pero yo soy de la idea de que las autoridades de esos lugares cercanos al cablebus y los mismos pobladores deberían buscar diseñar productos turísticos que compartir a turistas y no sólo como medio de transporte, Por ejemplo, donde te bajaste y fuiste al mercado a escasos 15 minutos en carro hay unas pirámides que pocos conocen, tanto en Acatitlan como Tenayuca... no entiendo por qué no han hecho ruta turística desde ahí, para que visiten esos lugares curiosos como tú. Y otra precisión, sobre los microbuses, los camiones de techo bajo, pues se siguen usando porque no hay opciones. Pero, tiene algo que ver con el comentario anterior. Antes donde ahora hay cablebus, la unica opción era bajar por esos camiones pequeños u otros tipo camioneta, como el actual gobierno prefirió darle prioridad a los más pobres y marginados. Es por ello que todavía hay zonas donde existen los microbuses, pero esperemos que en un futuro no muy lejano, eso cambie. Porque como bien dices, son incómodos, son de particulares y dan un pésimo servicio, son quienes provocan más accidentes y tráfico, son sucios y por el precio no valen la pena. Aquí en México es mejor el transporte público gestionado por el gobierno que el servicio público que ofrecen los gestionados o concesionados a privados. Y no te preocupes, el rap del chavo no decía nada ofensivo, o por lo menos no la parte que compartiste. Saludos y siempre bienvenidos a la Ciudad de México, nuestra Gran Tenochtitlán. La ciudad que lo tiene Todo. 😊❤🇲🇽
That's a torta de tamal, very Mexico city. You don't see that in many other places in the country. Lolol. The micros/hyenas. Lolol. Those get into all the neighborhoods in the city, they drop you off at the corner of your home.
THE PROBLEM WITH THE BUSES IN CDMX AND THE STATE OF MEXICO IN WHICH YOU PAY IN CASH IS THAT YOU HAVE TO KNOW THE NAME OF THE PLACE OF YOUR DESTINATION FOR EXAMPLE YOU TELL HIM I WILL GO DOWN IN CHAPULTEPEC AND WE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE THE DRIVER WILL CHARGE YOU BUT IN SOME CASES LIKE CHAPULTEPEC HE COULD ASK YOU AT WHAT "HEIGHT" SO YOU TELL HIM A MORE EXACT PLACE BECAUSE CHAPULTEPEC IS VERY BIG YOU CAN TELL HIM I GO TO THE ENTRANCE OF THE ZOO OR I GO TO THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM OR ETC. SO IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE NAMES, AN UBER IS BETTER IN OTHER CASES, BEFORE GOING DOWN, YOU HAVE TO ANTICIPATE YOUR DOWNLOAD AND YOU HAVE TO TELL THE DRIVER I WILL GET OUT AT THAT CORNER (OK IF IT IS ALLOWED) AND YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THE NAME WHERE YOU GOT UP AND TELL THE DRIVER SO HE CAN CHARGE YOU THE DISTANCE WTF SO IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE CITY YOU WILL NOT KNOW THE NAME OF THE AREA WHERE YOU GOT ON AND UNLESS A TOURIST WILL KNOW WHERE TO GET OFF THE TRANSPORT AND THOSE THINGS THEY CALL COMBIS ARE VANS WHICH SUPPOSEDLY ARE BUILT FOR A COUPLE OF PASSENGERS BUT TO EARN MORE THEY PUT EXTRA SEATS IN THEM AND THE DRIVERS WANT TO PUT IN ALL THE PEOPLE THEY CAN LIKE CANNED SARDINES TOURISTS WITH LUGGAGE SUITCASES IN THESE MINIVANS WILL SUFFER HELL IF THEY TRY TO BOARD THEY BETTER USE UBER AND MORE IF YOU ARE NOT THIN (LESS THAN 50 KILOGRAMS)

Hay otro servicio integrado que se llama TREN LIGERO, está al sur de la a ciudad, es similar al metro pero con menos velocidad y capacidad, también el TREN SUBURBANO, este se encuentra al norte de la ciudad, igual muy similar al metro, pero este sistema integra a municipios del estado de México y territorio de la ciudad de México, diferentes entidades que forman la zona metropolitana, y por último está en construcción el TREN INTERURBANO MÉXICO TOLUCA que comunicara 2 ciudades muy cercanas en el centro del país
Thank you! Yes, I've seen Tren Ligero which goes from Coyoacan to Xochemilco. I remember I was surprised as it was labeled with the same sign as Trolleybuses have.
@@AndriiZhulidovI think it's because they're both electric
@@AndriiZhulidovThe Light Rail and the Trolleybuses are operated by the same local government company called Transportes Eléctricos (Electric Transports) and thus they share the same logo although they’re different methods of transport.
Thank you for watching! Please let me know your thoughts in the comments!
Hello, at minute 7:20 it is not Mexico City, (CDMX).
there is the State of Mexico (EDOMEX) and thousands of workers from small towns all over the country live there, and also many Central and South Americans who have come to live there and make the place more chaotic.
Totally a different type of video that I have seen of Mexico city. Thanks for the info ⭐
Thank you for watching! I’m glad you liked it!
16:46 love that fare box sound
As your biggest fan, I would say this is your best video so far!
😇
This was a very well done video, very fascinating to see how well connected and developed all those different modes look. I have a bit of a collection of metro cards from different cities and the one there looks like it's really cool to have
Thank you very much! If you want that card, I can get it for you! 😉
@@AndriiZhulidov yes please!
@@FalconsEye58094 DM me on Instagram please!
Muy buen contenido. Great content and well presented. It was a fun video and it did represent the real life experience of the public transportation in Mexico City. Cheers!
Thank you very much for such a nice comment! This is exactly what I was aiming for - real life experience!
I love that there's variety and definitely agree about the cable car being the best. I didn't realize how inexpensive it is to travel around the city although I would need to get used to no A/C.
Yes, it might not seem expensive to some, but believe me, people who have to take a cable car every day for 7 pesos, some time would take much more uncomfortable peseros if they are 5 pesos. But yes, you can eve say that $8-10 ride from the airport to the city center in the Uber is damn cheap!
Very informative! Thank you. I would like to ride the cable car just for fun!
Thank you! Cable car is a lot of fun and a safe opportunity to see neighborhoods which might not be very safe to walk.
@@AndriiZhulidov, update, I went to Mexico City last weekend and road the Cable Cars. What a super resource for the people in those areas. There were children riding to school. Thanks again for the information.
Thank you for this video!! I am going to CdMx in September and wanted to know about the mass transit. I prefer at least trying mass transit when i visit anywhere to not be such a tourist. Can wait to try the Periferico (cable car).
Thank you for your comment! This is great that you want to explore real Cuidad de Mexico. There are a couple of cable car lines in the city. The one I showed in the video is CableBus, owned by the city of Mexico. Also there is another cable car system with two lines which is called MexiCable, which is owned by State of Mexico.
If you are going to CDMX soon, you might check out my other videos about Architecture, Parks and Sounds of Mexico City. There are a lot of fun stuff that might be interesting for you!
@@AndriiZhulidov I am watching your architecture video now. :) awesome content, my friend!
Hi! En el 2024 se inaugurará la línea 3 del cablebus y pasará por el parque del Bosque de Chapultepec, estoy segura que esa línea será la predilecta de muchos mexicanos y extranjeros.... saludos y bienvenidos a Ciudad de México... ❤
nice video about the public transit in CDMX... at last one video that is not about Roma, Condesa, and Polanco...
Yes! Thank you! Mexico is not Cancun or Cabo San Lucas and Mexico City is not Roma! I love real Mexico!
I really like your videos! I live in Mexico City but it's very interesting to know the foreigner point of view!
Thank you! I'm glad you like them! 😀
loved the video and btw FOR FOOD ITS SABROSO* LOL it was funny hearing you say " its sabrosa" next to the woman
Haha! Thank you! Will make sure to say SABROSO next time!
Amazing content, thank you! Regarding your question: The Camión/microbus/pecero/combi are normally used because they cover routes that those of the Movilidad Integrada doesn't. Movilidad integrada contains the backbone of the transporte público in México City, but these other routes can normally take you all the way inside neighborhoods in different administrative regions of the megalopolis (México City/ Estado de México/Hidalgo). I would note that the Tren Ligero and the Tren Suburbano are not mentioned in this video (the first takes you to the Estadio Azteca and Xochimilco, the second to the north and, in a few years, to the new airport). Then there's the transporte público of the Estado de México... but thats way more complicated haha. Thanks!
Thank you very much for your detailed explanation in the comment! I understand the argument behind the need of camions, but I also noticed them on the routes where buses or trolleybuses exist as well, like along Division del Norte. Tren Ligero is interesting, I took it once on Calzada de Tlalpan, I was surprised to see that Tren Ligero is labeled with the same logo as Trolleybuses are!
@@AndriiZhulidov I can answer your question about the micros on the same routes as the Movilidad Integrada, and the answer is just wait times and efficiency, most people will just take the first one to arrive (or as mentioned before, they will take you places others won’t (you can see where they’ll take you in the signs they have on the front)), the other reason is that in the rush hour, you need all the buses or otherwise they queues would be enormous.
Also they are a legacy of an old time when they were the only mean of public transportation in the city (besides the metro), nowadays it’s much of a hassle for the government and for the people to get rid of them because they’re privately owned and there’s a lot of controversy around their removal.
@@jarriduran Thank you! Your comment really helps to understand it!
This was a really awesome video. Really well-made and insightful. Five stars! Thanks for sharing, Andrii. I'm subscribing! Please share more on Mexico City.
I liked seeing this video! When I'm there-CDMX-I'm hestitant (scared?) to use the public system so I call Uber. Then I just get caught-up in a whole lot of surface congestion. You opened my eyes to an alternative. Thanks!
Thank you for all the info and explanation of the symbols. It helps with my trip prep.
I'm happy it helped! If you have other questions, you can DM me on Instagram and will be happy to help more!
Awesome tour, great content!
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Andrii, the green microbuses are being replaced by larger and more comfortable purple buses, these are concessions to private companies and they are already forcing them to improve their services
Oh, I took a couple of times those purple buses. They are better than green ones, but some of them are already in pretty bad mechanical shape.
@@AndriiZhulidov 🤯... Seriously... I can't believe it, but at the same time yes, it's only been three years since they started with that program, and it's because those guys have always done what they wanted, it's even this administration that is putting them on the line, It is a case of corruption of the previous governments
@@marcoantoniomendoza6928 I wish a lot of things would be better maintained in Mexico. It just needs a good management!
Nice video bro, very helpful!
Thanks! Hope you enjoyed getting around Mexico City!
Wow! It looks very modern n extensive 😍
La razón porqué usamos más el transporte privado, llámese combis o camiones o microbuses, es porque tienen mucho más rutas y te llevan hacia los extremos de la ciudad lo que llamamos zona conurbada. El metro puede acercarte pero siempre hay que tomar uno de estos "micros" para llegar a destino. No son tan malos, lo que más nos preocupa es encontrar lugar en hora pico 😅
Buen viaje!
Gracias por usted comentario y informacion!
interesting video o transportation in mexico city
Thank you!
Thanks!
Really good video!
I've wanted to take that teleférico since it opened
Sometimes the camiones are there so you hop on, usually they go to "under served areas", so there really isn't a choice
Thank you! I see, I just saw that some camiones only duplicate the buses or trolleybuses, so here choice is obvious it this case. Hoverer, I noticed that camiones are faster and comes more often, maybe another reason to choose them
I’m so glad you decided to walk around that neighborhood outside the cablebus, you experienced what 0.1% of tourists experience, and only do if they have relatives here or if it’s a farmer’s market in a nice place of town. Very good, you now have barrio with you.
Thank you! Yes, I try to go to interesting of beaten path places! One of coolest experiences was cross carring in Iztapalapa.
Nice work! Miss you cdmx💞💞🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽😎
Thank you! I miss Mexico City too!
@@AndriiZhulidov is my hometown .you are welcone eny time
Great video. Just got I loved the MetroBus. Nicer to be able to look at the cityscape. And also people talk to you more and are less paranoid.
Thank you! Yes, if I would have to choose to commute underground or on the ground, I would take MetroBus!
Mexico city Metro is more impressive than NYC METRO
Hmmm, maybe, but I think that in NYC the whole subway system is more complicated. CDMX Metro for example doesn't have local and express trains.
NYC subway 😂 only muricans have the audacity to even mention it
@@AndriiZhulidov so what? Local / express but still lots of delays, let alone the violent crimes 😂
OMG I was on a caminí ones and the driver was driving like a mad man! I had to go on one with my cousin, because she didn’t have enough money for an Uber. The driver was speeding and almost ran over a man that was yelling at him on the rode to stop! It was so packed that a man was hanging on at the door entrance. Yes I thought for sure he was going to fall out of the bus. I had my eyes closed and prayed that we would get to our stop in one piece.
I took camiones on a couple of occasions and it was always crazy. I guess most of them are like that!
In Juarez, they’re just school buses that are redesigned and get packed too, it’s either that or Uber. They have started working on a rapid transit system, but again camiones work for the average person, I used to even help by riding around one and yelling out the stops when the door opened
@@flexican5399 transportation system is one of the most important elements to the economic success of the city! So I hope they will do a good job!
really wish you put links to all the bikes, metro, scooters..etc...in the description...
Completo tu video, los micro buses se han ido reemplazando paulatinamente por los otros servicos de trasnporte, falto el tren ligero que va de la estacion metro Taxqueña a Xochimilco, y el tren interurbano de la cdmx al estado de Mexico, me gusto por la objetividad con que lo desribiste
En la Ciudad Universitaria UNAM, hay un servicio de transporte dentro del campus se llama PUMA Bus
Pedon se me olvido otro, en las alcaldias Tlahuac, Ixtapalpa, y centro de la CDMX hay uno llamado bici taxis
Very useful video... Thank you very much 👏
Thank you for watching!
19:40 They are geniuses who describe random people in extreme detail and it is so clever and funny.
My Spanish is not great, so I have no idea what they were rapping about! But I liked the fact they rapped on a bus!
A mexican faces reality when he uses a pesero. You sacrifice comfort and quality for practicality and cheapness. One of those reaches to where the others don't, saves you walking, and people merely have accepted the discomfort as a test of resilience in life. 😂
Lately the city has replaced them for newer units in some places, and they've gotten more expensive. Soon they might be made obsolete by the expanding trolleybuses and metrobuses.
I really like how you framed this selfless relationship of a Mexican with a Pesero! Thank you!
I hope you check Tren suburbano next time, it is a really good option that helps us get from the north area to Mexico City in a fast, safe and comfortable way
Thank you so much, very useful video!
Glad you liked it!
It's true. Mole and bread don't go together but people do as a way to take mole as to-go food in sandwich or torta form for lunch at work or a trip
Doppelmayr is Austrian. They have built several systems throughout the country.
watch out for pick-pockets on the metro and metrobus... speaking from experience. Note that once inside the Metro you can transfer indefinitely onto other lines without paying extra, but you cannot transfer on the buses without paying again. If you take the Metrobus to the airport there is an extra charge of 50 pesos.
Great system.... use it all the time whenever I am in CDMX.
Yes, I noticed that there is no transfer in this case. I never took Metrobus to the airport, only metro a couple of times.
Nice Video
Thank you Ernesto!
Beautifully filmed video. What camera do you use?
Thank you for your compliment! Everything was filmed on iPhone 13 Pro Max.
Impressive! Apple wasn’t lying about their cameras. Wow!
@@rafi9374 I have to say I’m a bit disappointed with this phone as I expected more. Main camera is not that much better for video compering to iPhone 11 Pro Max. It still sucks in low light and other cameras 0.5x & 3x are not much better either. Most of my previous videos are filmed with iPhone 11 Pro Max and I’m not sure if people can notice the difference.
Good video 👍🏻
Thank you Francisco!
What remarkable and outstanding work!! Pinche wero u r such a Capo!!! A new subscriber here !
Thank you!
next time you should talk to locals about pros and cons. eg. ecobici you have to be careful that they don't charge you by mistake or that you fail to mount the bike back on the rack, refunds are a bit of a pain in the ass if there is some mistake.
I hope you can make a video to the AIFA, the new airport for CDMX. via train! Saludos.
I flew in and out of CDMX many times, but never my flight was happening via AIFA. I definitely would love to make a video about the airport! Do you actually like it?
also - i heard google maps isn't good for metro...what app or maps would you suggest for subway, bus, cable? thx
Google maps is pretty accurate actually, but you can use Mexico city's app it's more accurate and tells you if they are delays in the system
17:52 - is he yelling to take off the camera?)
I think he was just looking if I'm giving him money or not, lol
Tamales in bread (Guajolota) is a STAPLE in CDMX
I just found it very weird as you basically put corn flour in wheat flour, not healthy at all and horrible for digestion. But probably keeps you going for a while as it stays like a brick in a stomach for a while.
There is also "torta de chilaquiles" that is the exact same concept, exept that with chilaquiles. The rest of mexico sees us wierd because of this foods but honestly is worth it.
Just a bit of history for if someone is interested both of this foods where probably created because of a lack of resources however they cach on, in part because of the ease of preparation and cheapness.
Great video a shame I just watch it now I would of like to participate in the discussion.
Uy! Qué nervios en el 🚠 cablebus.😱🥴!
Ahaha! Tienes miedo a la altura?
Whatever you do, do NOT take the buses with the purple icons on Google Maps. Those are peseros, not part of the Metro system, and you will be lucky if they take you where they're supposed to.
The metro bus from paseo de la reforma are from England, are double decker like the ones from London.
Actually, when they bring those buses to Mexico City. for making publicity, some metro stations where painted like underground stations from London
Interesting! I didn't know that fact! Thanks!
Wow for a city so incredibly large/crowded the stations are incredibly clean. Here in San Francisco, Calif...they are filled with zombies (drug addicts) and trash.
This is a shame, as California is such a beautiful area of the country, but they can't figure it all out and help people.
Friend, you missed line 12, it would have been a very rare but unique experience :)
Isn’t line 12 closed due to accident last year?
@@AndriiZhulidov Unfortunately yes, a part of the bridge fell along with a train :(
@@blackhole2021 yes, I was in Mexico at that time when it happened. I wanted to mention that accident and how people think it is connected with corruption during construction, but decided not to add it to the video.
@@AndriiZhulidov What if you go on line A, it has a rolling railway and peak hours in Pantitlán are epic xD
This video should state what USA does not want you to see. Especially NYC lol. clean and safe public transportation in MX city.
We use the unconfortable buses cause metro, metrobus, trolleys, etc. don't cover enought of the city, three years ago i used to take a bus like that to get to university but now there is a new metrobús line and now i take that, but still prefer metro over buses
Thank you for explanation!
I found your channel just now...I love your content and you won a new follower too! ;-) fun fact NYC metro system is gross... OMG I could not believe it was in such horrible shape...with so many homeless, and people with mental illness, and full of giant rats, !!! No comparison with CDMX
No A/C because it’s not hot in Mexico City. It rarely gets above 30C there.
I totally get it! I spend more than a year in CDMX and it indeed never gets too hot. But I believe that comfortable public transportation should have A/C. I felt hot with no fresh air in the subway lines that are underground and in buses during hot days.
@@AndriiZhulidov yeah, it gets way too hot when theres a lot of people trying to get to work or to get home, but with a price as cheap as 5 pesos (before it was even cheaper, 3 pesos only) i'm totally happy with having no AC x3
9:46 welcome to Mexico City
Ha-ha, do you mean tamales in pan?
how do we get ' the card' or app before getting there?
For senior citizens over 60 the transportación system is free
19:20 - Why are you wondering? those buses are natives of our ukrainian marshrutkas) completely the same)
Because the last time I used marshrutkas was probably in 2012, and I forgot how it feels like! 😀
I wonder if you can expand on why you like NY city subway and why did you think that Mexico's city was "not very nice but it is decent"? Having used but systems, I cannot even imagine where that correlation comes from. NY city's is loud and extremely dirty which is the complete oposite of Mexico's. So, I wonder what's the perspective from which you see it.
Hi, thanks for your comment! I haven't directly compared two subway systems, only referenced a couple of times the numbers as they are first and second largest subway systems in North America. I mentioned at the beginning that I really like NY Subway. Why I like NY Subway system? I like the aesthetics of graphic design, being able to get pretty much anywhere on Manhattan and most places in Brooklyn/Queens, uniqueness of the stations and some other factors that I can't get from the top of my head right now. Does it suck? Oh yeah, it does, subway is not my first choice and most of the time I prefer to use bicycle. Also, I would never say that NY subway is nice, because it is not at all, haha.
Why I said "not very nice, but it is decent"? Because I don't feel like it is very nice. In my mind very nice is subway in Tokyo, U-Bahn systems in Germany, Stockholm has very nice metro, Brussels I liked as well, I would say most European metro systems are very nice, including Warsaw and Kyiv. How CDMX subway is different? I feel like there are too many merchants screaming in the cars, all windows are stretched by graffiti, all seats are not comfy (anti vandal plastic and metal is not great), no A/C, safety (from pit-pocketing to train falling on the highway, due to corrupt construction)... decent means that it is still good, I would ride it any time I'm in CDMX again.
Hope it answers your questions!
@@AndriiZhulidov Thank you for the reply. Fully agree with "too many merchants screaming in the cars" and "no A/C". Safety... while true that there is pit-pocketing, I think that is pretty much every where. Personally, I was pit-pocketed in NY once, and never in Mexico. But I know that it is and issue there too. as for Graffiti and uncomfortable seats... NY graffiti I think is worst and plastic seat are fairly common is most train system. In my experience, European systems are marginally better and Japan's and China are far ahead.
17:40 та це ж наші рідні милі серцю маршрутки :)
Ага, саме вони! З усіма атрибутами, як голосна музика, несправність, водій робить 3 справи одночасно, "передайте за одного" і так далі...
18:53 Lol!!!!!! very low ceiling
Fortunately Microbuses are on the wey to disapear from the urban scenary pretty soon in CDMX and they all are being replaced by brand new purple color more modern units.
some purple buses are already on the streets, are you talking about them?
Weird how the trolly bus have no AC when all it need is electricity which is has plenty of...
I would like to remind the gringo that the first country that implemented a cable car as a means of mass transportation was Colombia, in the city of Medellín, the original idea began and began here in 2004.
Great fact, thank you! Just not sure to which specific “the gringo” you try to address this fact.
Meanwhile, NYCers be like “ we have the greatest subway in the universe”
Duh ...ppl take those smaller buses because they are more conveniente for some ppl in as far as bus stops, the other services have specific shops and on those smaller buses the driver can pretty much stop where ever you need him to stop. Simple really.
Also, yes those more modern buses do have a/c, perhaps you felt hot because of the sheer number of bodies in there and because ppl take it upon themselves to crack open the windows so ofc all the heat from outside comes in.
Believe me, buses in the states aren't much better. Buses and stations in cdMX are way clean in comparison as well.
Hello frend🤝🤝🤝
19:45 they tell you that you own them 500 pesos for the video and then talked about some woman’s watch (was so big that looks like a compass 🧭 or a wall clock)
Haha! Nice! Thank you!
Tren suburbano :)
Nice channel) Aren't you from Ukraine?
Thank you! Yes, I'm from Lviv, Ukraine!
@@AndriiZhulidov Great) Me too) Welcome to my channel, it's also about urbanistic)
He forgot to mention the Xochimilico 🚈 light rail!!
14:37 - looks like there is AC in trolleybus (probably it is not launched - typically for poor countries; the same in Ukraine).
The fare in trolleybuses - absurdly cheap. Where do they get money for maintenance?
From what resources they produce electricity in Mexico? Coal, gas, ... ?
Hhhm, I don't think it actually is an AC, maybe just ventilation. Those trolleybuses are made in China, and they have batteries on the top and can ride for a while without connection to the electrical lines.
The fare is cheap, because there are a lot of people who are very poor, so it affordable for them.
Despite all stereotypes, Mexico is big and rich country, the are 16th in GDP in the world ( in 2021 Ukraine was 55th) and Mexico's GDP per capita was $18.6k (70th in the World in 2017) & Ukraine's GDP per capita was $8.6 (112th in the World in 2017).
Late responde but the public transporte in México City is heavily subsidized by the federal government, thats why punlic transporte is so cheap in the city, México produces electricity from many resources, coal, gas, nuclear power, hidroeléctric
have iguanas, turtles or any wild spice in Mexico is a federal crime..but that neighthood surelly no body care ja.
Wow! I didn't know about this! I actually had a thought to buy them and let them free into the wild. But then it would mean that they would catch new ones and have no idea where I would let those animals go around Mexico City. Very sad!

¡Hola, pero qué gran video!. Sinceramente me atrevería a decirte que conociste más partes de la ciudad que muchos de los que vivimos aquí.
Debo decirte varias precisiones, el cablebus de la ciudad fue pensado para beneficiar la movilidad de las personas que por muchos años, décadas han sido olvidados. Por ello, no hay como tal lugares turísticos, pero yo soy de la idea de que las autoridades de esos lugares cercanos al cablebus y los mismos pobladores deberían buscar diseñar productos turísticos que compartir a turistas y no sólo como medio de transporte, Por ejemplo, donde te bajaste y fuiste al mercado a escasos 15 minutos en carro hay unas pirámides que pocos conocen, tanto en Acatitlan como Tenayuca... no entiendo por qué no han hecho ruta turística desde ahí, para que visiten esos lugares curiosos como tú.
Y otra precisión, sobre los microbuses, los camiones de techo bajo, pues se siguen usando porque no hay opciones. Pero, tiene algo que ver con el comentario anterior. Antes donde ahora hay cablebus, la unica opción era bajar por esos camiones pequeños u otros tipo camioneta, como el actual gobierno prefirió darle prioridad a los más pobres y marginados. Es por ello que todavía hay zonas donde existen los microbuses, pero esperemos que en un futuro no muy lejano, eso cambie. Porque como bien dices, son incómodos, son de particulares y dan un pésimo servicio, son quienes provocan más accidentes y tráfico, son sucios y por el precio no valen la pena. Aquí en México es mejor el transporte público gestionado por el gobierno que el servicio público que ofrecen los gestionados o concesionados a privados.
Y no te preocupes, el rap del chavo no decía nada ofensivo, o por lo menos no la parte que compartiste.
Saludos y siempre bienvenidos a la Ciudad de México, nuestra Gran Tenochtitlán. La ciudad que lo tiene Todo. 😊❤🇲🇽
Muchas gracias por tu comentario! De hecho, no sé acerca de las pirámides que mencionaste.
@@AndriiZhulidov te dejo un video ua-cam.com/video/fX4jcC1aXgM/v-deo.html son pirámides que quedaron dentro de la ciudad, pero pocos la visitan...
How can I get the card?
You can buy it on subway stations, metrobus stations in special ticket machines and probably on some cable bus stations.
They say it, "son 500 por video" jajsja you are in debt whit them
Haha! How can I give it back now? 😀
Microbuses are a disgrace for our city. It is inhuman to use those things.
Yes, I feel like city has to push for more changes, but I understand that it will get more expensive if those pesetas will be changed by better buses.
That's a torta de tamal, very Mexico city. You don't see that in many other places in the country. Lolol. The micros/hyenas. Lolol. Those get into all the neighborhoods in the city, they drop you off at the corner of your home.
I tried torta de tamal once, pretty bad for digestion, lays in the stomach like stone on the river bottom, haha.

In Mexico City the subway sistem is better than New York
What are the main reasons, you think it is better?
Dizque dangerous. Le falta barrio a este güey.
you need to work on your pronunciation
The subway in Mexico is much nicer and cleaner than the one in New York, what are you saying?
If you trying to quote me that I said the opposite, I didn't. Not sure what do you mean.
THE PROBLEM WITH THE BUSES IN CDMX AND THE STATE OF MEXICO IN WHICH YOU PAY IN CASH IS THAT YOU HAVE TO KNOW THE NAME OF THE PLACE OF YOUR DESTINATION
FOR EXAMPLE YOU TELL HIM I WILL GO DOWN IN CHAPULTEPEC AND WE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE
THE DRIVER WILL CHARGE YOU
BUT IN SOME CASES LIKE CHAPULTEPEC HE COULD ASK YOU AT WHAT "HEIGHT" SO YOU TELL HIM A MORE EXACT PLACE BECAUSE CHAPULTEPEC IS VERY BIG YOU CAN TELL HIM I GO TO THE ENTRANCE OF THE ZOO OR I GO TO THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM OR ETC.
SO IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE NAMES, AN UBER IS BETTER
IN OTHER CASES, BEFORE GOING DOWN, YOU HAVE TO ANTICIPATE YOUR DOWNLOAD
AND YOU HAVE TO TELL THE DRIVER I WILL GET OUT AT THAT CORNER (OK IF IT IS ALLOWED)
AND YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THE NAME WHERE YOU GOT UP AND TELL THE DRIVER SO HE CAN CHARGE YOU THE DISTANCE WTF
SO IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE CITY YOU WILL NOT KNOW THE NAME OF THE AREA WHERE YOU GOT ON AND UNLESS A TOURIST WILL KNOW WHERE TO GET OFF THE TRANSPORT
AND THOSE THINGS THEY CALL COMBIS ARE VANS WHICH SUPPOSEDLY ARE BUILT FOR A COUPLE OF PASSENGERS BUT TO EARN MORE THEY PUT EXTRA SEATS IN THEM AND THE DRIVERS WANT TO PUT IN ALL THE PEOPLE THEY CAN LIKE CANNED SARDINES
TOURISTS WITH LUGGAGE SUITCASES IN THESE MINIVANS WILL SUFFER HELL IF THEY TRY TO BOARD THEY BETTER USE UBER
AND MORE IF YOU ARE NOT THIN (LESS THAN 50 KILOGRAMS)
Thank you for sharing the tips!
