So cute and green!
They are cute – perhaps “festive” is a good word.
Been to Mexico three times and don’t ever recall Volkswagens for taxis. Must be new.
Happy wordless
I bet those bugs really zip about the city.
I don’t know… I’m having a “Geek Squad meets Herbie” moment…
Herbie goes Mi Vida Loco?
I love them! Cabs in Germany are white, how boring!
Those are cute! Very bright and vibrant.
What cute taxis! Make for a colorful photo!
Charming taxis, even the yellow ones.
Have we ever had the chance to use their services?
Yeah.
Even though we live in Norway
These cars are cute and their fares are very low and they know the city better than any wone else, but … Almost everyone that has lives or spends time in Mexico City agrees that there is a higher chance of a (crime) problem in a bug thatn if you take a car from a taxi sitio. They are more expensive but still cheaper than the taxis at the big hotels. I also recommend that you consider hiring a driver. It is not cheap but it is actually not a bad deal. I used the guy from MexicoCarService.com but there are many around. BTW, Mexico has a large VW plant in Puebla. Also, if you play “Slugbug” make sure to call no passbacks.
