Mexico City's #PosMeSalto Movement Protests Rising Transit Costs

upsidedownworld.org: "To understand how a 50 cent fare is considered one of the most expensive in the world, you have to take into account Mexico City's minimum wage which has stagnated around 64 pesos, just shy of five dollars for a day’s work. Therefore, a basic daily commute can account for a minimum of one sixth of one's daily salary and sometimes up to one half if the commuter has to pay extra for  buses or minivans to travel from their house or job to the subway stop.

Los manifestantes emplazan al jefe de Gobierno, Miguel Ángel Mancera, para que “a más tardar el día 13 dé marcha atrás al aumento de la tarifa”, mismo que impugnarán en el Tribunal de lo Contencioso Administrativo."
