Hop on and off bus tour

I always use such a bus in a city, it helps you get oriented. But no - not in CDMX!
This city is so huge - there is now way for a orientation dummy like me to get oriented.
One of the main roads is 64 km long in the south and 53 km in the north. So basically the city is as big as from Basel to Bern! 2 hours a day commute to work is considered lucky, 3 hours is normal, many do 4 hours.
I wonder how does one manage such a big city? CDMX without the surroundings suburbs is 8‘000‘000 people. That is the number of people in Switzerland.
With big cathedral I also have mixed feelings. One one hand I admire the artistic value and in awe of craftsmanship, and that they left us signs of their culture. On the other side I think of the people who did the hard work. Suffered, died, were hungry and sick. I suppose most of laborers were slaves.
Impressions of two different kind of arts.
