This thesis explores public transportation planning in the Mexico City metropolitan area (MCMA) for empirical evidence to better understand what institutional, financial, and political conditions encourage and deter cooperative metropolitan governance. The MCMA, made up of several state-level jurisdictions, predominantly the Federal District (DF) and the State of Mexico (Edomex), continues to expand rapidly, surpassing their jurisdictional capacities and putting pressure on infrastructure like public transit, which carries almost two-thirds of daily traffic. -
Over the Clogged Streets of Mexico City, Gondolas Fly Free
Over the clogged streets of Mexico City, gondolas fly free By Adam Vaccaro GLOBE STAFF MARCH 10, 2018 Play Video ECATEPEC DE MORELOS, Mexico — For years, the worst part of Marco Antonio Martinez’s grueling commute was the short stretch between his home in this densely populated suburb and the main road to downtown Mexico City. He would catch a small, beat-up bus that would inch its way down narrow streets, crawling through intersections clogged by the region’s infamous traffic. The 1-mile leg routinely took more than 30 minutes, made all the worse by nagging fears of on-board muggings — a sadly common hazard. But 17 months ago, Martinez and thousands of other harried commuters here received what felt like a gift from on high. Now, Martinez glides above the angry clamor in an aerial gondola, bypassing the gridlock in a trip that takes just seven minutes, as he gazes at the buses below. “Now I just feel calm and relaxed when I’m on it,” said Martinez, who works for a company that manages golf tournaments. Known as the Mexicable, the 3-mile, $90 million gondola system opened to great fanfare in late 2016, an ambitious effort to improve public transportation in this suburb of more than 1.6 million. Initially met with some doubts, it has since provided more than 5.5 million rides, with about 20,000 passenger trips on a typical weekday. It has also drawn praise for giving low-income workers better access to public transportation. ANTHONY VAZQUEZ FOR THE BOSTON GLOBE Gondolas flew overhead in Ecatepec de Morelos, Mexico, as part of an aerial tramway that opened in 2016 to ease the commute to crowded Mexico City. -

ENERO DE 2013 Palabras Clave: Costos de transporte público urbano, Zona Metropolitana del Valle de México, Movilidad. Resumen: El presente documento se realiza como parte del trabajo terminal para la obtención del grado de maestro en planeación y políticas metropolitanas, y se destina a ser un diagnóstico cuantitativo y cualitativo de la situación actual de los viajeros en medios de transporte público, en la Zona Metropolitana del Valle de México, subrayando la diferencia en el costo que éste implica, el cual es más elevado en los municipios conurbados a la capital del país, y que sin duda ha significado un sacrificio mayor para las economías familiares de los habitantes que residen o se trasladan en dicho espacio, mediante en transporte público concesionado. En primer lugar se describe la manera en como se llevan a cabo principalmente los flujos diarios de movilidad en la metrópoli, caracterizados por orígenes y destinos. Para ello se utiliza la Encuesta de Origen y Destino 2007, levantada y publicada por el INEGI en 2008. Dicha base de datos sirvió a lo largo del documento como el insumo primario en la elaboración de la parte cuantitativa de esta tesis. Asimismo, se valió del uso de la Encuesta Nacional de Ingreso y Gasto de los Hogares de 2010, para comparar lo observado en ambas encuestas, respecto a los desembolsos monetarios en los que incurren los habitantes del espacio señalado, con motivo de transporte público. -

Modernizing Public Transport in Mexico City
WF-17 1997 THE AMERICAS William F. Foote is an Institute Fellow exami- ning the economic substructure of Mexico. The Business of Buses Modernizing public transport in Mexico City MEXICO CITY, Mexico March 7, 1997 By William F. Foote At 6:30 A.M. on Monday, April 10,1995, Mexico City's transport chief died vio- lently in his office. The government ruled it a suicide, even though two bullets had pierced Luis Miguel Moreno's heart. There were even more reasons for doubt. The week before, Moreno had de- clared the city's public bus company bankrupt. Route-100, as it was called, was to be liquidated. When the bus drivers' labor leaders were arrested on charges of graft, thousands of enraged union men hit the streets, paralyzing the federal capi- tal with violent demonstrations. Were they angry enough for murder? Nobody knew. But when more bodies turned up those of a city official and a judge, both involved in the case suspicion soared. It was quite an unfortunate way to kick-start the modernization of public trans- portation in Mexico City, yet the murky episode might have been inevitable. Route-100 had spun out of control. Founded in 1981, the public bus company had long been under the de facto control of its union, known as SUTAUR-100, which was of Marxist-Leninist persuasion. Its leaders had studied the workers' struggle in Cuba and Central America. They had allegedly financed the Zapatista guerril- las in Chiapas. For them, pub- lic transport was never a business, but rather a socialist tool to redistribute capitalist wealth. -

Getting around Mexico using taxis is surprisingly affordable, especially when compared to taxi fares in places like the USA and Europe. In Mexico City, it is best not to hail cabs off the street after dark. If you are unfamiliar with the city and don't speak Spanish, it's best to always use taxis from Taxi Ranks (Sitios) and never hail a cab from the street. Also if you travel with suitcases and / or expensive equipment it is better to use a Sitio / RadioTaxi. http://www.meetup.com/Internationals-in-Mexico-City-Mexican-Welcome/ Sitio Taxi / Radio Taxi Many cab drivers, especially those working in the capital, are now affiliating themselves with local taxi co-operatives, or companies that service fares from a base and / or pick people up when they telephone to book a ride. There are many good companies that will quote you a fare over the phone for the journey you request, and tell you the details of the car type/plate that will pick you up. Most hotels are affiliated to a local taxi firm, and some even have a sitio taxi rank outside, waiting for you to travel. The app ´Mapa de Ciudad de México´ has in integrated interactive map and directionary with most SitioTaxis.
