San MIguel Über driver, Marisela Guadalupe, August 2016
Über, who have been operating in other Mexican cities for a while, began service in San Miguel one week ago. Our first trip was with this charming driver, Marisela Guadalupe. She was waiting outside our house when we stepped out of our front door, and, when we got to our destination, even waited for us to make our return trip. All 20 pesos less for the two trips than it cost us sitting on the floor of a clapped out Tsuru, with a surly taxi driver, last week. Two trips across town for two people for an all-in total of just $3.25 US. Viva Mexico. Lange Lebe Über. (I have decided to give it an Umlaut whether it needs one or not).
