Transport prices rise in Mexico City.

If you are visiting Mexico city and wishing to use public transport please note the following changes to the tarifs on public transport.

The metro now costs $3.00mx for one ticket and re-chargable cards are now available from the ticket offices at a cost of $100.00mx - they are a good idea for anyone spending more than a week in the city, all you need to do is add the desired amount of money to the card and swipe it at the turnstiles as you enter the metro station.

The Trolleybus (streetcar) is currently priced at $4.00mx and the local street buses often called peseros have stayed with a tarif of 3-4 pesos although the drivers are currently asking for an adjustment in the tarif system.
