Mr. Krauze, I wish you would stop having the typical Chilango attitude that is blatantly obvious in your posting. Why should the rest of the country subsidize your public transportation as is now the case? Why should people in Monterrey, for example, have to pay three or four times in bus fares what people in Mexico City do?
