Abstract:

Mexico City has grown from an agreeable city with a population of a million people to an expanding megalopolis of around seventeen million. The metropolitan area extends across two distinct, self-governing, administrative areas. While these two areas are part of the same urban region, it has different policies and resources, which result in different standards, costs and varieties of transport.
