Transportation

1. One of the largest ocean ports in Mexico is the Port of Veracruz. Made in the beginning of the 20th century, it now brings in over 16.1 million products a year, which makes the port of Veracruz is the oldest and largest port in Mexico.
    Other major ports of Mexico include Guaymas, Topolobampo, Mazatlan, Manzanillo, Tampico, and Pajaritos.

2. Passenger rail systems are a popular way of transportation depending on where in Mexico an individual is located. In Mexico City, the STC is the second largest metro system in North America and has 195 ports, 115 of which are completely underground. Other passenger trains in Mexico include Expreso Maya, Chihuahua al Pacifico, and "Tequila Express", all of which are tourist trains. Freight trains include the Ferromax and the Kansas City Southern de Mexico in northeastern Mexico.
   The highway and road network in Mexico is like the US in that east/west highways are even numbered and north/south highways are odd numbered. These roads are maintained and created by the federal government in Mexico. Some roads require a toll, though there are less than there are in the US.

3. Mexico has about 1,834 airports, ranking 2nd in North America and 3rd in the world. Airports are commonly found in major cities for international tourists like Cancun, Manzanillo, Mexico City, and Oaxaca. The Manzanillo International Airport, as I remember from my travels, was pretty small compared to most. In order to get inside the airport, we exited the plane onto the runway and then made our way inside (something I was not used to by any means coming from most big airports in the US). Some national airports include Zamora National Airport and Nuevo Casas Grandes National Airport.
