Tickets To Mexico City
The Mexico City Metro (formally Sistema de Transporte Colectivo Metro or STC Metro ) is a rubber-tyred metro system that serves the metropolitan area of Mexico City (this includes some municipalities in Mexico State). It is the second largest metro system in North America after the New York City Subway, and in 2008 the system served 1.467 billion passengers, placing it as the fifth highest ridership in the world.
The first Metro line had 16 stations, and opened to the public in 1969. It has expanded since then in a series of fits and starts. It currently comprises eleven lines and 451 kilometres of passenger track. Instead of traditional steel wheels, ten lines have rubber tires (also called pneumatic traction) , which are quieter and which cope better with Mexico City's unstable soils.
The STC Metro has 163 stations, 24 of which serve two or more lines ( correspondencias or commuting stations, from the French word correspondance ). It has 106 underground stations (the deepest of which are 35 metres below street level); 53 surface stations and 16 elevated stations.
At the end of 2007, Mexican Federal District government announced the construction of a new metro line: Error - Nothing was found
