STILL pretty lame. for a city of 20 million, looks like a downtown of a city for 500,000.

You are only showing ignorance in the matter. Maybe you're expecting some skyscrapers in the downtown but as I've mentioned before it's a UNESCO site, so it means it's forbidden to build tall buildings there. It doesn't matter if it's a 500,000 city or 100 millions one, downtown is an historic site and it won't change.

Is public transport good in Mexico city? Do you have taxis, metro system, or anything of the sort?

Caravaggio · August 4th, 2012, 04:52 AM

Mexico city has an adequate transportation system taxis are available all over the city but you must be careful since criminals are known to use fake taxis to kidnap or steal from unsuspected victims. Buses also run to many parts of the city so getting around to the main sights should be easy to get to. The metro system is fairly large and easy to navigate running both above and below ground.

Great, I don't plan on going until the drug wars get over, but when I do, I will stick to the bus and metro.

Isn't there a way to verify taxis? I'd be terrified of taking a taxi now that you've told me that

Many hotels will be able to arrange for a taxi driver to take you where ever you want to go in the city this does entail a higher price but it will ensure your safety.

I'm pretty sure you don't even have a clue about what you are talking about. You should do some more research before giving a poor opinion. It's like saying that Athens, Paris, Rome or London look awful because the have old buildings...nonsense..... Gosshh,,,there are some people...

The drug war doesn't take place in Mexico City, and certainly Mexico is not THAT dangerous.
