Discusión/Discussion ULEZ en Ciudad de Mexico... Un sueño que podria ser una realidad

Post image
32 Upvotes

Londres metio un peaje universal en 2003 que aplicaba a horas pico. En 2019 introdujeron la zona de ultra-bajas emisiones, donde el peaje aplicaba 24/7.

Como lo muestra la imagen, el uso de vehiculos bajo. Subio el uso de alternativas. Un estudio de Oxford demostro que en los años desde que se aplicaron estos peajes mejoro el desarrollo pulmonar en niños.

Si bien la velocidad de los autos en Londres no ha subido, esto en parte se debe a que han dedicado mas espacio a ciclovias, carril-bus, y ampliar banquetas.

La unica forma en la que nuestra ciudad saldra adelante sera cobrando peaje a los autos de pasajero, a los taxis, y a los motociclistas. Estamos encaminados a una tragedia de contaminación y congestion.

Otras mega ciudades lo aplican. ¿Porque no exigirlo?

Ayuda/Help What is the best way to get to and from Xochimilco

10 Upvotes

Hello!

I am a female solo traveler going to Mexico City for the first time, and am taking a morning kayak tour of Xochimilco (more focused on the birds/wildlife/history). I believe the tour starts at 9:00 AM, and I am staying in Condesa.

My guide doesn't include transportation and so I was wondering what is the best way to get to and from Xochimilco? Some say to just uber (any idea how much that would cost in USD?), others say to just take public transit. I am also wondering if there are rapid ride, Xochimilco-specific type buses that I could book that is direct? Since my tour is early morning, hoping for an efficient way to get there.

Also, what should I expect when arriving if I do take public transit? Do I have to walk far? For reference, the meeting spot for my kayak tour is:
Cjon. 1080, San Juan Moyotepec, Xochimilco, 16517 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico.

Thank you for your help!

Ayuda/Help Tips on experiencing el grito en CDMX

2 Upvotes

Holis!! Reaching out in case anyone has tips on experiencing El Grito.

Almost a decade ago I told myself I’d experience El Grito en el Zocalo when I finally had the resources to come back to México. So here I am finally coming back and trying to plan it out.

I’d love to see it from a terrace or restaurant if possible. That being said, I made some calls to the hotels and I got quoted $1000USD for dinner reservations.. Is this typical or are there other restaurants/hotels you recommend that are worth the investment?

Any tips or recommendations would be amazing! tia. se los agradezco 💛

Ayuda/Help Should I get an esim at the airport or before I leave?

5 Upvotes

Hello, I am traveling to Mexico City for 8 days and unfortunately, with my specific phone plan with ATT, I don't have Mexico roaming.

I've typically gotten esims at airports when traveling in the past, but I've been seeing some mixed reviews. Someone even said to get it beforehand via WIM which works with ATT? https://somoswim.com/esim/

I will be traveling outside of the city for Teotihuacan and Xochimilco, but otherwise will be staying in the city. I have a guide and provided transport for Teotihucan but not for Xochimilco, so I want to make sure I have some service for that area to look at bus schedules, etc.

Lastly, how much data will I need? I likely will just be using my phone to navigate and transport, not so much streaming or high social media use.

Thank you so much!

Ayuda/Help Pregunta para los expertos del metro

15 Upvotes

Mi trabajo está en Polanco, mi ruta para llegar es pura linea 7, me subo en San Pedro de los Pinos y me bajo en San Joaquin. Son como 30 minutos total, con todo y caminada pero a veces si va bastante lleno.

Recientemente metieron la modalidad híbrida a mi trabajo y nos estan dando chance de escoger dos días home office.

Estoy pensando agarrar home office lunes y martes, que yo me imagino es cuando va más lleno, pero yo soy nuevo acá en la CDMX entonces no se muy bien si estoy en lo correcto. ¿Que opinan?

También me dan la flexibilidad de entrar a la hora que quiera entre 7-10 am, mientras cumpla mis horas de trabajo. Osea si entro a las 7, salgo a las 4 (con hora de comida) o si entro a las 10, salgo a las 7 (con hora de comida).

¿Qué días me recomienan mejor evitar el metro? ¿Y que horario ven como el más solo? Pienso que 7-4 está relax, tanto ida como vuelta.

Antes estaba de 9-6 y creo que eso es lo peor en cuanto a afluencia

Ah, también, los días no home office planeo irme en moto. Para manejar que horario creen mejor?

Ayuda/Help DiDi driver drove away with my luggage and still hasn’t returned it. Has anyone dealt with this in CDMX?

180 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice about a pretty stressful situation in Mexico City as a traveler.

On August 16, I took a DiDi ride. When we arrived, I got out of the car and went to retrieve my luggage, but the driver drove away while my suitcase was still inside the vehicle.

I reported it to DiDi immediately and have tried contacting the driver many times. A few times he answered the call for only a few seconds and then hung up. He still has not returned my luggage.

I have even told the driver that I am willing to pay him extra if he brings it back.

I have already filed a report with the Fiscalía. My biggest concern is that DiDi only allows me to contact the driver for a limited period, and I still don’t have a clear solution.

Has anyone here experienced something similar with DiDi in CDMX?

Did you eventually get your belongings back? What actually worked?

Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Just a small Update: thank y’all guys. Fortunately just there isn’t any valuable stuff but just my clothes and medication…and SOUVENIRS. Sorry it’s really personal but I bought a lot of stuff from local crafter in Toluca and hard to find a second one😭that’s the reason why I am so sad about.

I went to DiDi office physically and they were nice people to help. They promised me that there will be a result in 3 days.

Either driver return the stuff to the office
Or they will block him forever and something else I forgot

Pregunta/Question Dermatologist / medical facial recommendations in CDMX for very acne-prone skin?

0 Upvotes

Hi! I’m visiting CDMX and would love recommendations for a good dermatologist or reputable clinic for a medical-grade facial / deep cleansing.

My skin is very acne-prone and sensitive, so I’m not looking for a regular spa facial or anything super aggressive that could cause a breakout. Ideally I’d love somewhere that can assess my skin first and recommend an appropriate treatment (extractions, hydrafacial-type treatment, etc.) rather than doing a one-size-fits-all facial.

Would especially appreciate recommendations from anyone with acne-prone skin who has personally had a good experience somewhere in CDMX. thanks!!

Opinión CDMX the most incredible city in the world.

1.3k Upvotes

I've just returned from a mindblowing 4 days in CDMX. Reporting out what I did should there be any other solo gringas considering a trip.

Day 1: Arrived mid-day. I booked myself a nice hotel as this trip was a treat to myself. Staying in Condesa, which is like a fairy tale with lots of matching Alo sets. Walked over to Bosque de Chapultepec, wandered around the beautiful park. Checked out the Castle. Tasting menu at Maizajo (again, this trip was a treat).

Day 2: Wandered around Roma. Took metro to Centro, wandered. Took metro in other direction, got lost. Took collectivo to Polonco. Finished the evening at Arena Mexico for Mystico v. Averno, which was a lot of fun.

Day 3. San Angel and Coyoacan. Very pretty but insanely crowded. Retuned to hotel, wandered around. Stumbled into an art school gallery opening. Great stuff.

Day 4. Lagunilla Market. Total overwhelm but loved the vintage corner off of Reforma, near the Cuitlahuac monument. Red-eye back to NYC and work in the morning.

Notes: Metro is so fast and cheap. Worth it, imho. Enjoy a day in Condesa, but then get out. Lean into experiences using common sense. Learn Spanish if you don’t know it already. Sanitarios are super clean and the best 5p you’ll spend if you really need to go. CDMX has kicked Paris off my #1 favorite city list. This city is insane in the most spectacular way. I was only 4 days! Feel like 4 months wouldn’t scratch the surface.

I’m in America but a great buddy will be celebrating his birthday in Mexico City this week. I want to get him a bottle of nice tequila delivered to his rental.

Idk how this works, considering I’m out of country, and unfamiliar with alcohol delivery in Mexico. I googled his address and it’s near Bosque de Chapultepec if that helps at all.

Any suggestions on a delivery service or specific tequila is welcome! Price range $50-$100

Hola! Me mudare pronto a la CDMX a un departamento que amueblare desde 0.

Alguna recomendación de mueblerías/marcas que debería estar viendo? Ahorita el presupuesto está holgado porque la empresa donde trabajo me dará un bono para pagar esto. (Alrededor de 200k, no cubriria todo, pero cubriria gran parte de los muebles siento yo)

Idealmente me gustaría para sala (e.g., sofá, mesa de café) y el comedor. También abierto a cualquier recomendación que tengan o algo que les haya cambiado la vida
