El Tren Ligero
The Light Rail system is a common and efficient mode of transport for locals, connecting various neighborhoods and providing access to popular areas. It's unique in the sense that it offers a more eco-friendly alternative to cars and is relatively affordable.

Taxis and Uber
While taxis have been around for a long time, the introduction of ride-hailing apps like Uber has transformed how people move around the city. It's convenient, accessible, and often faster than other forms of transportation. While not unique in the global context, the extensive use of ride-hailing apps in Guadalajara sets it apart.

Bici Guadalajara
A unique and eco-friendly mode of transport in the city is the bike-sharing program, Bici Guadalajara. This allows locals and tourists to rent bikes for short trips, reducing congestion and promoting a healthier lifestyle. It's particularly unique because the city is increasingly integrating bicycle infrastructure into its design.

The modes of transportation in my city are

Mototaxi:this method of transportation is more common in remote areas of the city

Motouber: there isn’t no yet in Guadalajara, but in a other cities of Mexico is there one

Macroperiferico: this is like Macrobús, but his rute is by periferico

1.- Bicycle: On a neighborhood with a fairly good amount of cycling road and a lot of alleys and shortcuts to take, a bicycle made for a great method of transportation. It's really fast, doesn't rely on fossil fuels and it is really practical.

2.- Horse: somewhat more exotic and expensive is the horse, but you still see a lot of people riding on calandrias and the back of their horse.

3.- Trajineras: boats in xochimilco to get from une side to another of the lake.

Ways of transportation in my city

In Guadalajara we have different ways to move around the city
Some are common and some are a little different
Here are three examples

1. Macrobús
This is a big bus that moves on its own special road
It is fast because it does not stop in normal traffic
It has many stations and a lot of people use it every day
It helps to go from one side of the city to another

2. Mi Tren
Mi Tren is a light train that goes under and over the city
It has different lines and stops in many important places
It is cheap and fast
Many students and workers use it to save time

3. Rent bikes and scooters
In some areas people can rent bikes or scooters with an app
This is good for short trips or when there is a lot of traffic
It is also good for the environment
More people use this now to move easy in the city

I think these ways are not very unique
Other big cities have similar transport
But they are very useful and important for Guadalajara

In my city, the main modes of transportation are:

1. Taxi – It is a common and convenient way to get around, although it can be expensive compared to other options.

2. Private Car – Many people prefer using their own vehicles for comfort, but traffic congestion can be a major issue.

3. Bus – This is an affordable and accessible option, but sometimes the service is not very punctual.

I wouldn’t say these are unique ways of transportation because they exist in almost every country. However, the way they operate, their efficiency, and their popularity vary from place to place.

In Guadalajara, transportation includes the Macrobús , SITEUR, and MiBici. While these are efficient, they are not unique. A unique mode of transport from another country is the gondola in Venice, Italy. While it wouldn’t be practical in Guadalajara, a similar tourist attraction on lakes or rivers could be interesting.

1. Car

2. Bus

3. Bicycle

It is common to travel in them because they are in most cities in the world.

Horseback riding is common in some parts of Mexico, which is a cart that you climb onto and a horse pulls. I don't think it would be a good idea to use it in the city, as it would get in the way.

Modes of transportation in México:

Mototaxi, trajineras, subway.

The mototaxi and the subway are not that interesting, but the trajineras are, due to their cultural importance in Xochimilco and their peculiar and colorful image.

Transportation in Venice Italy:

Gondolas are more of a leisurely, scenic way to experience Venice rather than a practical means of transportation. A gondola ride is a must-do for many visitors, but it’s not the most efficient way to get around.

In Mexico, three common modes of transportation are peseros (microbuses), trajineras, and colectivos. Peseros are small buses used for short-distance travel in cities. Trajineras are colorful boats in Xochimilco, mainly for tourism. Colectivos are shared taxis or vans for intercity travel. While practical, they are not unique, as similar transport exists in other countries.

Unique Transportation from Another Country

In Thailand, tuk-tuks are three-wheeled motorized taxis. They are fast and small, making them ideal for traffic-heavy areas. Introducing tuk-tuks in Mexico City could be helpful for short trips, but safety and regulation would be concerns.

Renting a bike in "mi bici" that you can rent this bike in all around the city, you need a card to rent this bikes.

The way you can use a bus. You can pay whit coins or use a a card of the company.

The combi, is like a bus but I think can change the route.

The interesting transport in other country is the train in Japan but I don't think is gonna work in mexico because we are so messy

Three modes of transportation in Manzanillo:

1. Bus

2. Taxi

3. Motorcycle

I think they are not unique. Many cities in Mexico use buses and taxis. Motorcycles are normal too.

Interesting transportation from another country:

In Thailand, people use tuk-tuks. They are small, three-wheel vehicles. I think it is a good idea to have tuk-tuks in Manzanillo because they are small and good for short trips. They can help with traffic and are fun for tourists.

Mi macro periferico

I consider this unique because its very fast to go to places y cheap

Uber

This transport is more expensive but is easy to go to places and more comfort

Bicycles

I think this is more healthy but also is more dangerous, also is the cheapest of this 3

Jeepney

This is like a modified jeeps that were abandoned, they fix it to make it a way to transport

# data[].attributes.body
bus

Underground subway

Cars

I don’t consider that are the uniques ways to transportate us because they can be found in every place of the world.

I think it would be a great idea to implemented in Guanajuato because there is very vertical designed.

modes of transportation in my hometown (Mexico City):

1. Metro (Subway) – One of the largest in Latin America, cheap and efficient for long distances.

2. Metrobús – A rapid bus transit system with exclusive lanes, ideal for main avenues.

3. Peseros (Minibuses) – Informal but widely used for routes not covered by official transport.

Are they unique?

Not entirely. While metros and buses exist worldwide, the peseros are somewhat unique due to their informal structure and adaptability. Their routes are often flexible and change based on demand, which makes them different from standardized systems.

Interesting transportation from another country:

In Thailand, Tuk-Tuks are small, three-wheeled vehicles used for short distances in cities. They are colorful, open-air, and very iconic.

Would it be a good idea in my city?

Maybe not in the busiest areas due to traffic and pollution, but it could work in tourist zones or parks as a fun and eco-friendly alternative.

On the following Padlet, mention three modes of transportation in your country or hometown Bus,Car and horse Do you consider them to be unique ways of transportation? Why or why not? i dont think so because there´s everywhere.

Find a unique or interesting mode of transportation from another country. On the Padlet, describe it and explain whether you think it would be a good idea to introduce it in your city. A Jeepney is a colorful, open-air minibus originally made from leftover U.S. military jeeps after World War II. Over time, they evolved into the most popular public transport in the Philippines, known for their vibrant decorations and affordable fares. Jeepneys operate like shared taxis, picking up and dropping off passengers along a set route.

Marco Leon,

Modes of Transportation in Mexico

1. Metro: he metro is an efficient and affordable way to travel.

2. Peseros and Colectivos: Small buses or vans that operate on fixed routes but can stop anywhere along the way. They are a flexible and inexpensive option.

3. Trajineras: colorful boats used in Xochimilco, Mexico City, mainly for leisure and tourism.

While the metro and peseros are common forms of public transport worldwide, trajinera boats are quite unique since they are used for recreational purposes and reflect Mexico’s cultural heritage.

Unique Mode of Transportation from Another Country

Jeepneys are colorful, modified jeeps used for public transport. Originally repurposed from U.S military jeeps after World War II, they are now a symbol of Filipino culture.

Would they work in my city?

Jeepneys could be a

fun and affordable transport option, but they might cause congestion if the city already has heavy traffic.
