Before coming to Mexico for a two-day series against the San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler said that he was planning on doing some sight-seeing in the city.
When there is major maintenance work on one of the lines in Mexico City, the city government provides free buses that go alongside the tracks so passengers can continue to their destinations.
“I figured that that was some sort of normal procedure, but I wasn’t ready for it. So I kind of followed the herd and then ended up in a line for buses. And then I ended up on a bus,” Kapler said. “So the bus was an adventure. I had enough Spanish and enough Google translate to ask the bus driver to be gracious and let me off on a highway where I walked across several lanes and then ended up walking to the ballpark," Kapler said with a smile.“As we’re starting to learn here in Mexico City, the traffic is pretty dense. So what I’m learning is that the surface streets, if you can get on a train, that’s the move or be on foot, that’s the move," Kapler said.
When professional teams from the United States come to Mexico City to play games, the city provides police escorts to navigate faster through traffic.AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports
