Talk:Pesero

message: : To this day, thousands of peseros carry an important part of Mexico City's public transport passengers, surpassing by far the capacity of the Mexico City Metro, STE trolleybuses, buses and taxis.
Can this be true?  Do micros carry more people than El Metro? - Eric 06:04, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's true. I've added references to a official statistics page from the body regulating transportation in Mexico City, showing that peseros (including combis, micros, and full-length buses) account for 60% of "trips" in Mexico City, while the Metro carries only 14% of the total. Thanks for the request for a reference, and for reading the article! Roadmr (t|c) 17:38, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, okay, I was imagining just those maniacal green micros competing with the 9-line Metro, but if we include Metrobus, and all all the little local combis on the outskirts, I could see it. Thanks for adding the references! - Eric 19:34, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Actually, the 60% figure refers to all units under the "pesero" modality - the "green micro" includes combis, microbuses proper, but also a number of full-length buses under that modus operandi. Do imagine the same kind of driver, but operating a vehicle that's twice as large and heavy; quite dangerous I think. Metrobus, being operated under a different form of franchising, doesn't count; neither do taxicabs, of which there are a significant number. As per setravi, there are 28,000 concessions for peseros; 108,000 for taxicabs; about 1,800 among electric trams (trolleybuses) and city-operated buses; and perhaps 100 metrobus units. Also, the metro has 11 working lines (9 numbered lines plus A and B lines), with a 12th line planned, which should begin operation in 2010. Anyway, I digress, but there are a *lot* of peseros and their combined capacity (and amount of trouble they generate) should not be underestimated. Roadmr (t|c) 23:49, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Pesero → ? – I don't know, maybe Public buses in Mexico City or Share taxis in Mexico City. The scope of the article is mostly about microbuses (i.e. these) that were operating in Mexico City (they have since been replaced by modern minibuses like these, but nowadays they are painted in purple). The lead also mentions that they are known as "combis", but those are share taxi vans like these. The term pesero is still being heard but "combi" is slowly replacing it and "micro" is more common for buses. (CC) Tbhotch™ 19:49, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
