ONE DAY IN MEXICO CITY´S SUBWAY


Hello every body, I was suppose to post today, but earlier, and not exactly what I´m going to post jaja, I want to share with all of you my experience in the subway these days in my way to my job, to be precise in the line 7.

Every morning seems to be as a normal day, but everything change when I got to the subway. Actually, everyday I take the same way, station"popotla" to "tacuba" and then I take the transfer to the orange line until "constituyentes" but in the transfer starts the adventure.

Everyone could think that in the part where only women can abord could be easier but is completly false, women are more agressive than men, and at that time normally at 8:30 am the subway is full, and is horrendous try to get in. Despite this I always get into, crashed, but I get into jaja.

For instance, last friday I was willing to get into the wagon when the policemen started to shout "everybody, get out of the wagons" I was late for my job and I was worry about that instead of wondered what was happening, so I run as fast as I could trying to get to my job but in my way I thought "Everything happens for a reason" so I prefered not to worry and I rather not to go to my job.

The reason why I´m posting today to late is because I got out late from my job, I mean at 6:30pm, when I get in to the subway there was a person informing that the subway service was going to be slow, in that moment I got worry, every second passed the passageway was more and more full, so after half and hour I decided to get out of there, in fact a lot of people took the same decision. Then I took a taxi, and I was lucky because he didn´t want to take me home he had already finished his turn and he was going to "coyoacan" and I was going to "camarones" so I begged him and I convinced him jeje, I didnt know what else to do or what bus took to get to my home!.

Finally, the man left me in "bellas artes" station, and again I can say that every thing happens for a reason, I saw a very good friend that I had not seen since high school.

After that, I got to my home but ask me at what time, Ive been sitting here for one hour more or less, in other words, since 8:30 pm when normally I arrived at 7:00pm.

And every day is the same. However I´m not going to complain because these setbacks are the things that make a difference in my way to my job and viceversa.

thanks teacher!

Ale: Don't get angry. I agree with you, I konw you´re humans too. Men that let ladies sit down are gentle but it depends of each one, in my case I don't expect that every man do, but i will do appreciate it.
