'''Transport in Mexico City''' is managed by the government of the [[Mexican Federal District]] through several [[public company|public companies]] that administer the different means of transportation. The government of [[Mexico City]] operates the second busiest ''publicly owned'' transit system in [[North America]] after [[New York City]], if private operators (which carry about 60% of the traffic) are included, the Mexico City passenger transport system handles about twice the passengers of the [[Metropolitan Transportation Authority (New York)|New York MTA]]. Often, ridership figures given for Mexico City do not include suburban traffic in Mexico City's four massive bus terminals, each of which is similar in size to the [[Port Authority Bus Terminal]] in New York City. |
|||
==Public transportation types== |
|||
The following is a list of means of transportation available in Mexico City together with the company that operates them: |
|||
* [[Mexico City Metro]] is the [[subway system]] operated by [[Sistema de Transporte Colectivo]], a public company. |
|||
* The [[Xochimilco Light Rail]] and the [[Trolleybuses in Mexico City|Mexico City trolleybus network]] are operated by [[Servicio de Transportes Eléctricos del Distrito Federal]], a public company. |
|||
* [[Mexico City bus network]] is operated by [[Red de Transporte de Pasajeros]], a public company. |
|||
* [[Mexico City Metrobús]] is jointly operated by [[Corredor Insurgentes, SA de CV]], a [[private company]], and Red de Transporte de Pasajeros. |
|||
* ''[[Pesero]]s'' operated by various private companies and [[cooperative]]s. |
|||
* [[Taxicab|Taxis]] licensed to individuals by the Mexico City government. Mexico has many illegal taxis as well, which are not licensed. |
|||
* The [[Tren Suburbano]] is Mexico City's [[regional rail]] network. |
|||
* Numerous suburban bus routes emanate from Mexico City's four major bus stations: Terminal Central del Norte (North terminal), México TAPO (East terminal), México Taxqueña (Central del Sur, South terminal), and México Observatorio (Poniente or West terminal). Together these terminals are probably the world's largest agglomeration of intercity and suburban bus terminals outside of [[China]]. Other suburban bus and pesero lines terminate at Mexico City Metro stations. |
|||
* [[Streetcars in Mexico City]] have not operated since 1979, however there are plans for a modern streetcar in the city center. |
|||
== Airports == |
|||
Mexico City is served by [[Mexico City International Airport]] ([[IATA Airport Code]]: MEX). This airport is [[Latin America]]'s busiest and largest in traffic, with regular (daily) flights to [[North America]], mainland [[Mexico]], [[Central America]] and the [[Caribbean]], [[South America]], [[Europe]] and [[Asia]], and with codeshare agreements spanning the entire globe, mainly thanks to the most important carrier based there, [[Aeroméxico]] ([[Skyteam]]). It is used by over 26 million passengers per year.<ref>http://www.aeropuertosmexico.com/DF/aptoDFes.htm Aeropuertos Mexico</ref> This traffic exceeds the current capacity of the airport, which has historically centralized the majority of air trafficked in the country. An alternative option is [[Lic. Adolfo López Mateos International Airport]] ([[IATA Airport Code]]: TLC) located in the nearby [[Toluca]] with about 4.5 million passengers transported in 2008. About 31 million people went through the city's airports in 2008. The government engaged in an extensive restructuring program that includes the new second adjacent terminal, which began operations in 2007, and the enlargement of four other airports — at the nearby cities of [[Toluca]] ([[Lic. Adolfo López Mateos International Airport|Mateos Airport]]), [[Querétaro, Querétaro|Querétaro]] (Querétaro International Airport), [[Puebla, Puebla|Puebla]] ([[Hermanos Serdán International Airport]]), and [[Cuernavaca]] — that, along with Mexico City's airport, comprise the ''[[Grupo Aeroportuario del Valle de México]]'', distributing traffic to different regions in Mexico. The city of [[Pachuca]] will also provide additional expansion to central Mexico's airport network. Mexico City's airport is the main hub for 11 of the 21 [[List of airlines of Mexico|national airline companies]]. |
