There, we got on the relatively new (2021) "cablebus" system... the public cable car system. That line runs for 10 kms, with one free transfer point. Cost for the entire ride, including the round trip if you don't exit the system is 7 pesos ($0.54 CAD, $0.39 USD) per person.
And it wasn't even busy. There was no lineup and we got right on. We were sharing a car with a nice couple from South Africa... Lieza (sp?) and Wesley. It's their first time in Mexico and they're doing a very busy one month tour. We were able to give them lots of tips!
This type of travel sure gives you a different viewpoint on things!
There are a lot of rooftop murals to enjoy.
That's a pretty busy rooftop!
Interesting church steeple.
It really gives you some perspective on how truly huge Mexico City is.
Colorful homes.
The airplane in this park is a library!
The business district in the distance.
School roof.
That was a fun and cheap way to see parts of Mexico City that you would never see otherwise. And we enjoyed spending some time with Lieza and Wesley. I'm sure they're going to have a fantastic trip!
We parted ways, and went to find some lunch.
A big hearty bowl of pozole for lunch!
Then we took the subway back downtown and walked the main part of Reforma Blvd through the business district.
Lots of Christmas decorations up.
Roundabout fountain.
My sister Alison with her wings.
The wings are beside the famous Angel of Independence statue.
We walked by the Revolution Monument.
And I poked my camera through the gate of the main post office to get this photo.
We had some delicious birria tacos for dinner, then relaxed for the evening.
Today, we are taking the subway back to the Poniente Bus Terminal, and then the two hour bus ride back "home" to Valle de Bravo!

That was a fun and different way to get to town and a different perspective of the area.

It is a fun way to see a different part of the city and what makes the cable car so much more interesting is seeing the murals painted on the rooftops along the cable car line. We really enjoyed the ride and it was a very cheap way to get a ride above the city.
DeleteA unique way to see any city. Always nice when it is shared.
ReplyDeleteStay Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
Yes, it is definitely a different way to see the city and being able to look down on the murals painted on the rooftops that are along the cable car line was great as well and not something that most "tourists" know about.
