Protests after authorities announced plans to raise feeslast year weren't successful. But taking the subway is still pretty cheap: just5 pesos (about 40 cents) for a ticket. And it's not just a way to get from point Ato point B. For some people, stations on the city's 12 subway lines are adestination. There are shops, libraries, art exhibits and even computer labsinside. A pedestrian tunnel between two subwaystations in the heart of the city boastsmore than 40 bookstores.
雖然住在墨西哥城的商人和外國人喜歡坐汽車和的士出行,可地鐵依舊是墨西哥城大眾最喜歡的出行方式。去年政府提高了地鐵費用,抗議活動失敗。但是,坐地鐵依然是非常便宜的:一張票只要5比索,相當(dāng)于40美分。而且地鐵不僅是一種交通工具,對于某些人來說,墨西哥城12條地鐵線路中的站點本身就是他們的旅游目的地。里面有商店,圖書館,藝術(shù)展示,計算機實驗室。位于市中心兩個地鐵站之間的一個人行地道就開滿了40多家書店。
