It's hard to convince people of this, but honestly, despite the traffic jams, lack of parking spaces and appalling standard of driving, having a car really is the best way to get around the city.
The Metrob�s involves (usually) standing for a long time, as do the buses, and I refuse point blank to use peseros, as they are driven by untrained and uninterested drivers who break about ten laws every time they set off, including the condition of the bus. Check the state of the tyres some time! There are, unsurprisingly, frequent reports of crashes.
The metro is just about bearable, although this often involves sitting in stations or tunnels for long periods due to bad coordination of departures.
My advice would be, assuming you are the kind of person that takes pride in your driving skills, to maintain your standards at all times whatever everyone else is doing around you. |
There are relatively few fatalities from crashes involving peseros as the speeds rarely are enough to kill, only maim the passengers. |
