Despite such obstacles, the city is building the world's highest (elevation: 7,349 ft.) underground transit system. Later this month President Gustavo Diaz Ordaz is to dedicate the first ten-mile stretch of the $300 million, 26-mile net work. Then French-built, orange-colored trains with rubber tires will start rolling along the tracks at three-minute intervals. For months, proud Mexicans have been lining up on Sunday afternoons by the thousands to gawk at the project and its artfully decorated stations, including one built around an Aztec pyramid unearthed during the excavations.
