Transporte público

In the early decades of the 20th century, Mexico City underwent rapid growth and modernization. Especially after the Mexican Revolution, it saw an enormous surge in population. These broadsides reflect ways of moving those newly-arrived people around the city: changes in urban life relating to various methods of mass transit, including trolleys, trains, and buses.

En las primeras décadas del siglo XX, la Ciudad de México se modernizó y creció con rapidez, especialmente después de la Revolución. Estas hojas volantes reflejan cómo se movía por la ciudad su creciente población y los diferentes medios de transporte público a raíz de estos cambios en la vida urbana.
