El Pesero en el DF


This green and white mini bus is the infamous ¨micro¨ or ¨pesero.¨ It is one of the most efficient forms of transportation if you are without a car in Mexico City. The rates are about 2 or 3 pesos per ride, depending on where you are going. Micros are usually always crowded and each driver has different tastes in music, ranging from ¨rancheras¨ to ¨classic rock¨ and from ¨top 40¨ to ¨80s retro.¨ The point is that once you board one of these micros you will be forced to listen to this type of music for the whole ride and in very high volume while feeling squeezed at every stop, etc. For drivers on Mexico City roads, these peseros represent a menace, because they will likely cut you off or simply stop in front of you without warning to load and unload in the most inopportune times. Here, behind this particular micro is the fountain of Diana, a glorieta on Paseo de la Reforma.  Posted by Hello
