Kids fly free? And ABC on the wall in Vizcaino has los tarifas posted. Don't know what to tell you about your 2181 pesos. Buses must go like hell from Vizcaino south. About the 45% distance point. Last ABC bus was 16 hours, twenty minutes with no detours. Reality check. A thousand miles, nine stops. Eleven puestos de controles. Thirty seven mile per hour "average?". Why am I shaking my head?

Are the buses better after the gasolinaza? No. Fewer potholes? Shirley you jest.
But it's 2017! Time to wake up and starve the family. Progress.

Good grief man, what part of the world are you living in?
No increases in taxis or city buses in Monterrey. Itยดs been talked about but nothing yet. City buses are concessions and make tons of money. They canยดt raise rates on a whim, it has to be decided by state and local government via house of representatives.
Discounts in all major cities apply to elderly, children under 6 yrs old and students. In the Monterrey Metro areas, most students pay nothing, it's free if they apply for it.
I use Uber taxis. Clean, new, and cuts out the concessionaires as well as that stinky old union the CTM. Uber is about 40% cheaper than a street taxi, has a/c, they offer water, and use online maps to get you where you're going.
BTW, passed through Matehuala today and paid 15.93 for Magna. Wow, the price went down! Naysayers.

Mexicoยดs oil industry was nationalized after the revolution. We are now in a period of energy reform and privatization. Before, there was only one oil company, one logo, franchises existed but they were heavily controlled by the Pemex oil company.
You should read up on Mexico. Itยดs a wonderful country and lots of people come here with their rvs. Great culture, people, food, music, etc.
Mexico does $580 billion dollars a year in trade with the U.S. and Canada. Weยดre neighbors!
I think your history needs a bit of clarification:
The Mexican Revolution took place in 1910 to 1920
The oil reserves and industry was nationalized on March 18th 1938.
That nationalization was a result of serious labor unrest among other issues.
Now Mexico at long last has seen the light and will allow competition to Pemex. Mexico is fundamentally a capitalist country with a Socialist Oil industry...this makes no economic sense. Thus the change.

Comision federal de Electricidad tarifa basico y intermedio se augmentar a 20%.
Gasolinera Pemex in Houston Vende gasolinas for $1.00 gal less than Mexico, because property and labor costs way less than it does in La Prepublica.
Subsidized? Exactly what are you people smoking? You need to live IN MEXICO with Mexicanos, understand exactly how the proveedores are raising prices NOW because of the rise in price of los comistibles to see the effects. Pemex y la cruda was a gigante cash cow for los ricos en Mexico. I took the time in 2008 to actually WALK los edifiios y estancionamientos for Hacienda and Petroleos Mexicanos en Centro. BMWs, Lincoln Navigators, Audi's, Escalades.
Keep reading those newspapers. I am forced to deal with the books and el contador for a very large mercado y taller mechanico. Pemex went broke. You people argued that I was wrong a year ago and for me this forum is similar to watching un caricatura de Pato Pascual. It's actually sad. ADIOS...
