UBER Mexico City

Hi Nomads,

Has anyone recently been to Mexico City that can share any comments on UBER vs Regular Taxi in this city?

My family and I are leaving for a two week loop adventure in central Mexico (CdMx-Hgo-Qro-Pue-Ver-Pue-Tlax-Mor-CdMx)...

...next mid September and will appreciate any help.

I've rented a car at the Mexico City airport for the trip but plan to return it to the rental agency at our return to CdMx and use a taxi instead of driving during our stay in the city; we'll be staying in CdMX (Mexico City) on the last leg of our trip for five nights, we'll be staying right in the middle of the Centro Hist�rico at the Ritz.

I'll certainly will be posting a graphic trip report of this adventure: I've never been to the Gulf area before.

Any comments or recommendations for the city or along the route are greatly appreciated.

Thanks...!!! :bounce:

Uber in DF is fantastic; it is really cheap, efficient and safe. The GPS function of the app is sometimes a little shaky because of the buildings and presumably all of the people using the network there but otherwise it's great. No more having to call a sitio cab & waiting for it to arrive (you can't hail a cab on the street; it isn't safe). We also use the subway in DF because it is also very fast, cheap and safe. It can get very crowded during rush hour so be aware of that; but the trains are very frequent & the network is extensive. Enjoy your trip!
