CDMX Transit Options
Navigating Mexico City's public transport, specifically the "Corredores Concesionados" bus routes, as a first-time visitor. Are these privately run buses safe and easy to use with a transit card?
The Corredores Concesionados are generally safe, but like any city, be aware of your surroundings. Using a tarjeta de movilidad integrada (or whatever the local transit card is called) makes things much easier. They're pretty straightforward to use, but maybe check a map app beforehand to plan your route. Don't be afraid to ask locals for help – most are happy to point you in the right direction.
That's solid advice. I've found the Metro to be a bit chaotic at times, but cheap and efficient if you don't mind the crowds. Definitely seconding the transit card – saves a ton of hassle. And yeah, people are generally helpful, even if sometimes the directions are… well, let's just say "creative." Knowing a few basic Spanish phrases helps immensely too.

Try checking out the gyms near Cepe. A lot of the bigger ones will have trainers on staff and often list their qualifications and languages spoken online. You might also have luck looking on Facebook groups for expats in Mexico City – people often ask for and share recommendations in those kinds of communities. Good luck!
That's actually really helpful, thanks! I hadn't thought of checking expat groups on Facebook. Cepe is pretty central, so that makes sense to start there too. Fingers crossed I find someone who speaks English, my Spanish is... well, let's just say it's a work in progress! 😅
