Nice little intro sir. 😉 We find so many things are very affordable here in Mexico. Cool place thanks for sharing Monte you are doing a great job. Cheers from 2 Canucks living In Xalapa Veracruz. 😁✌🏽
Hi Monte Love all the updates on the local transportation, thank you. I went to the DDS in Kanasin and getting a rideshare back to the Colonia was difficult but finally got a DiDi so this new tram/bus is great news.
Bro I just came last year to Taiwan (I’m Mexican living in Rivera maya) when I go back Mexico I won’t miss Taiwan, just in 6 month is getting so Modern ! 🇲🇽
Do you think the system will accept payment with Tap to Pay cards or cell phones - Apple Pay and Google Pay? Also, if you come across any updates about when the other routes of the IE Tram (north and south west toward the airport) it would be interesting to hear about those. Also, have you heard anything about when the renovation of Calle 60 will be done?
No for phones and Google pay. I have some more footage I’m going to make into a RUclips short about future routes. No idea on Calle 60. I thought it would have been done by now. Not sure what it’s taking so long. They finished 47 way faster.
To be honest, flooding happens on a street by street basis. It’s worse in centro because of all the trash on the streets blocking the drains. This area is a mostly middle class area of Merida that probably has flooding but its street by street. A few years ago, 2019 there were horrible flooding and because of 100 year weather events. The city is flat, drainage is poor, so it will flood. Much like the freeway in Dallas when it gets heavy rains. Except we are in the tropics so there is a rainy season.
They did what it seems a clever word game with "Va-y-Ven", since phonetically sounds like the word "vaivén" which is very easy to remember and say. "Vaivén" means swinging. The 'natural' alternative "Ve y ven" or "Ve y Regresa" sound awful and clumsy. It doesn't flow.
While the new changes to public transport are great, and still expanding (this is awesome). There are still multiple issues that may persist as the system expands and new routes are added. We still have to wait A LOT for buses in certain routes. And during peak hours, this is unacceptable... people actually resort to uber or didi when they have waited a little too long for a bus. Worse yet, the buses don't space out well, sometimes you wait 30 min and two buses stop, one tailing the other (it can even be three). So, if you accidentally miss those, then you gotta wait 30min just like the people that waited before you. Infuriating. Some route have issues of busses not letting people in the most used and furthest routes (also means isolated--see xmatkuil and the poor university students 15km away from the city). Bus drivers have even tried exposing those same drivers that don't pick up students. How long will it take to fix these issues, I don't know, but I hope not long because they only get worse as time goes buy because more and more people arrive to the city... the population growth is outpasing city development. I love the new buses, routes, and ease of use. I would love to be able to add money to my card through an app. Those university students 15km away? Well, they don't have a way to add money to their card at their university and would have to take thay same bus to the bearest town (2km away) to do it... might as well go to the city! (Since you can ask people to pay for your trip). Almost twice as expensive and the previous routes, but buses are better and it's actually cheaper on a change of bus, and for your third and fourth, it's free... so sometimes you can take a grocery stop back from work and get the trip for free! Overall improvement... could be way better, and it isn't that hard. I'm expecting it to get way better.

Another great & informative video. I appreciate you spinning the block so we could get a look around too. Thanks Monte. 👍🏾
Thanks. My pleasure. I was soooo tired that day.

Thanks guys. I’ll get to Veracruz one day if for nothing but coffee.
Thanks for the info. The Anima listening bar was fantastic, and we got the opportunity talk to the owners. Keep up the great work! Great
I’m glad you liked it.
That’s Incredibly Cool! Have a great week!
Thanks!
You are getting this content creation gig quite right, congrats!
Wow. Thank you!
Thank you, Monte! I'm gonna check out some of these new ways to get around before I arrive 20:24 .
Outstanding. The new line is supposed to open this month that goes up prolongación Montejo past the malls and Costco.
Looks like it’s pretty easy to get around in the Merida area. Thanks for the tour Monte! Nice comfortable bus service!
It’s getting easier. When this system has all the routes open it will be amazing and comfortable.
So beautiful
Thanks for watching
Awesome video !! We're also planning on releasing one about the transporting system ! Tu canal ha crecido y mejorado mucho. Saludos !
Outstanding and thank you. Hopefully 🤞 the algo will link the two.

I mentioned it at the station when the 1st tram rolled up and I didn’t hear it. But it was brief.
@@Mexitplans You're are right! Sorry, didn"t hear it till now. I love your videos!! have fun and continue enjoying México 🇲🇽
No worries. Thank you for watching. There is So much more I wanted to add. I’ll make a few shorts adding those details perhaps.
I understood that too!! 16:16
Awesome!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your generosity.
The colors are so vivid. What kind of camera do you use?
Osmo pocket 2 and 3 for this video with some adjustments in post production.
Can you talk about the suggested Panama Canal like plan for Mexico. Thanks
I’m planning a video soon. I wanted to try and take that route but it was not open, yet.

Yup.
does that area have a problem with flooding? If it does then what?

Good to know. I’m messed this name up for years.
Those electric buses look so out of place with the surroundings
That’s why it’s interesting. A 482 year old with all electric transit soon.

I agree with you. I’ve experienced the long waits and crowded buses on the popular routes. I hope it continues to improve.
