Mexico City is North America's second largest system, after NYC. In the core of the city, all the lines are underground. But outside many are elevated, like NYC and like Line 12 which had the accident. This one had steel wheels but most lines have rubber tires, like Montreal and some Paris lines.Critics say transit and government officials ignored reports that the elevated tracks had been weakened by the 2017 earthquake. Claudia Sheinbaum, mayor of Mexico City, had been seen as a candidate to be the country's first female and first Jewish president. But she's among those getting blame for this, even though she pledged $2 billion to improve subway safety. I'd like to visit Mexico City one day, ride on the subway and enjoy what I see on travel shows as a great city to visit. |
