Instead of VW Microbus or Combi as it is known in Mexico, now tgey have this kind of much better looking transportation, Renault Trafic:



And they have these cool looking taxi bikes:



Soon I'll post pictures of Guadalajara's taxis, so you can see the huge variety.

My Herbie bug used to be a Mexico City taxi. If you take the door panel off you still find the green paint. This little car is so fun to drive and it takes me back to 1971. Herbie is a 1999 model and runs perfect.
