    This adventure starts in Downtown Mexico City, right outside the Palacio de Bellas Artes. From there, we’ll hop on the Metro and head toward the suburbs—using the same transport locals rely on—while we break down how mobility works in one of the world’s biggest cities (and why it shapes daily life here).
