Describe, as best as you can, what the experience of using public transportation in Mexico is like.
Theere are small minibuses or vans that follow specific routes.
The Experience: This is the most "authentic" and sometimes chaotic way to travel. You often have to flag them down like a taxi.
The "Pasamanos": If the van is crowded and you are in the back, you pass your coins to the person in front of you, and they pass them to the driver. Your change comes back the same way—it’s a system built on collective trust!
The Music: Expect loud cumbia, reggaeton, or norteño music blasting from the driver's speakers. Sometimes lights decoration help you feel like you are at night club.
