Interesting fact about Mexico City Metro, each station has a unique symbol to help identify it, as there was a low literacy rate back in the 60's so they created pictograms to help navigation. Though nowadays most people know how to read, they are so useful and successfull that they stuck around and pretty much every mass-transport system in the country uses their own symbols. Great video, as always.
As shown on your video, Mexico City Metro was once a marvel of engineering and planning, so far as to influence other transportation systems across the region. Sadly, the last few administrations disregarded the Metro, not only stunting its growth but even letting it fall in disrepair, and instead built many BRT lines, which is not a bad mode in itself but clearly insufficient for a 20M inhabitants megalopolis.
25 años de gobierno del PRD/Morena han construido una sola línea de metro y la construyeron mal 🤦🏽♂️. Nunca pensé que diría algo bueno del PRI, pero la construcción de tantas líneas en los 70 y 80 fue bastante bien hecho.
Some of Line 12 is temporarily out of service because of the train derailing recently. It's so sad to hear about that incident. There are also some commuter rail services out of Mexico City, one of them is the line to Toluca that's under construction. A line to Puebla would also be excellent.
Not precisely a derailing but the structure itself collapsed due to accumulated stress and damage after the 2017 earthquake that went unrepaired. A sad tragedy because 26 people lost their lives.
It's very curious because Mexico went through a terrible economic crisis during these years, which shows that poor economy is not an excuse for lack of investment in transportation
@@cardenasr.2898 Large construction projects are a good way to lessen the impact of economic recessions by providing jobs for otherwise unemployed workers.
The Mexico City Metro also uses Bombardier (now Alstom) tire-trains which are also used in the Paris and Montreal metro systems. The fare for the Mexico City Metro is still at 5 pesos which is 25 US-cents.
Pretty much packed trains from the beginning, except Line 3 (when it ran from Tlatelolco to Hospital General), line 4 and 6. Of course, overall ridership has grown accordingly (or exceeding) to the growth of the network and city itself.
It is incredible how a citizen of Mexico City has grown "El Metro" (as it is called daily), in an impressive way, and the lines missing. There is a master plan in place with a horizon to the year 2040, 5 new lines will be built and lines 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, B and 12 will be expanded. Now the only expansion that is being built is that of the Line 12 to Observatorio. Greetings for Mexico.🇲🇽.

It's not shown here, but line 12 has been closed for quite a lot, first because of deformations, and then later (right now) due to a collapse. Really shoddy work
@@josanikik definitely a concern there, but I think the commenter is referring to the de-commissioning of lines, line shutdowns or shrinkage of mass transit systems that, sadly, was a trend in late 20th century cities all around the world.
Thank you! I hope you liked the new format of the video as well! I switched the main screen and the small screen so the overview of the system is now in the main screen and zoomed-in map is in the small screen.
Really like how it evenly spreads across the city while linking outer lines to each other, instead of just jutting out in random directions and just going straight to the center of the city.
Mexico City is a really nice place. I have never been there but being the biggest metro system in Latin America is a big accomplishment. Can you make Istanbul Metro in your next video? There are a lot planned routes in Istanbul.

La ineficiencia de la linea A se debe más por el tipo de suelo que hay en la zona, es mas propensa a undimientos y en temporada de lluvias es un caos, más a parte la linea A es la que más captación de gente del Estado De mexico recibe por lo que se vuelve demasiado saturada y por ende su eficiencia baja demasiado!!!
The only extension under construction since 2016 is Line 12, to the terminal station Mixcoac to Observatorio, that conect this line with Line 1. Already have been 8 years, and only it has the 52% completed. The actual goverment doesnt want to extend or create new metro lines.

Since 2000, the Mexico City only opens the line 12. 21 years and only 1 line? Why the extentions are so slow recently? The rest of the network was constructed in 32 years (1969-2000), much faster.
the left administration (PRD-Now "Morena") seized the control of the city for the last 25 years, it fits perfectly their goverment with the slow expansion of the metro network

Clearing up some things, the construction of Line 2 started in Tasqueña and ended in Pino Suarez, a few months after it expanded to Tacuba and finally reached Cuatro Caminos a year later
Maybe Warsaw, Poland? Its history starts in 1924, but the opening after 12-year build time was in 1995. It's not as big as London or Mexico, but it is definitely interesting.
Actually in 1970 line 2 opened between Pino Suarez and Tas(x)queña, and line one opened Juanacatlan station as terminus until 1971 when line 3 opened between Tlatelolco and Hospital General, line 2 extended to tacuba and Line 1 to Tacubaya. In the 80’s and 90’s there were official plans to have Mexico City with 17 metro lines and 10 light rail lines, aswell as 3 suburban rail lines for 2020 with branches, but there were never taken by the government and instead focused in BRT which opened in 2005 and solving the hyperinflation of 1989 and the TLC (Free Trade of Comerce which opened the Mexican market to international comerce) in 1994 and “buliding Line 12” which ended up with over costing, bad quality of construction and then 2021 brought to see the level of disrepair that the metro was left over the years with the fire of the control station that stopped the service and used soap bars and phone calls to have the service running as well as the Line 12 collapse, and extensions replace with elevated brt lines which ended up collapsing aswell. Even when the mayor of Mexico City sayed that they wanna repair the metro, as they found it in corruption and disrepair they repaired the light rail line and. The Trolleys which were in worse situations than the metro but the metro is suffering that.
As a mexican I´m happy with our metro system, I konw thats no perfect. But i've some conection with Metro of CDMX, Thanks for this video I was waiting for, 'cause also it's a great system to study and watch.

It is interesting to see how metro systems have certain periods of rapid expansion. This is also noticeable in other cities as well.

Not a single closure of stations or segments since 1969, you can really see that the planning of the metro was incredibly perfect.

Correct
✓ La línea 9 y la A se inauguran y la 8 aún seguía en construcción
✓ La ciudad esperaba que la Línea 10 se inaugurara y acabaron viendo la inaguración de la A
✓ En lo que la línea 12 se amplía a Observatorio esta ya cerró varias veces y clausuró tras el colapso en Olivos, la reconstruyeron y aún no acabaron (Desde 2015)
✓ Cuando la Línea 1 aún no llegaba a Pantitlán la gente tenía que tomar una micro hacia la 5.
✓ La gente en el AICM en los 90’ para tomar el metro vivían una odisea, ya que los alrededores de Pantitlán eran (y siguen siendo) del Aereopuerto.
✓ Cuándo la Línea A se inaguró, su eficiencia hacia que la gente prefiriera los trenes férreos, hasta que ésta línea se volvió ineficiente.
✓ Los letreros de lucecitas en las estaciones eran consideradas "El futuro", en la actualidad ningún letrero iluminado existe.
✓ Mientras la gente esperaba una Línea 11, el gobierno abrió el Metrobús.
✓ En el tiempo en el que la línea 12 tarda en la ampliación a Observatorio, se hubieran hecho de 3 a 4 líneas nuevas.
Amo la Ciudad de México, es cómo la Carabina de Ambrosio: Un show cómico mágico músical.

Great video! In all honesty I prefer your older design on your videos but still, really good video! Keep up the good work!

Can you do Warsaw next?
I'm mad that instead of 10 and 11 it uses A and B, but then uses a number for 12 again
The line b has two colors becuase it represents the unification of line b and line 10(you miss that the line b is not grey is green and grey)
Why A and B and not 10 and 11
The lines that cross the state border between the cdmx (capital) and the state of México their name is with letter sorry for my bad english
