METRO
Mexico City's Metro
is open everyday. Hours: Monday-Friday 5am-midnight; Saturdays 6am-1am;
Sundays and holidays, 7am-midnight. Each of the nine lines is color-coded
and each station has a unique symbol (similar in design to archaeological
glyphs). For example, Metro Moctezuma is represented with a plumed
headdress. There's a map of the metro system at every station.

TAXIS
The familiar green Volkswagon bugs (bochos) are being
replaced with rectangular boxes painted gold and crimson. It is
easy to catch a taxi at a number of 'sitios' throughout the city.
Note there is an additional tariff between 10pm-5am.
As a security measure when taking a taxicab off the
street, make sure the driver's ID is visible and that the taximeter
is working properly.
BUS STATIONS
Mexico City has four major bus terminals, some of
which duplicate routes. All of the stations have restaurants and
magazine stands. Most have money exchange services and luggage storage.
