 A sight now typical in the centre of Mexico City since ninety new Alexander Dennis Enviro500MMC doubledeckers launched a new north-south cross city BRT service. It is rare not to look anywhere along the route and see at least one doubledecker approaching from both directions. They are fast and furious! This is 807, the fleet number on paper in the window, though smaller numbers are affixed on the sides and rear. Interestingly no registration numbers are carried.

 When these pictures were taken at the end of June and brginning of July 2018 the Line 7 route had been operating about 3 to 4 weeks. Here buses 913 and 906 are heading north in the city centre next to Hidalgo Station on the city's Metro.

 It is not unusual to see as many as three or more buses waiting at the southern terminus in the parkland of Campo Marte. Passing by is a purple and white Dina built bus. Like the MB Metrobus Enviros it is branded CDMX, the body, Ciudad de Mexico, is the city's metropolitan authority and presumably responsible for the transport planning and infrastructure.

 Crossing the junction of Hidalgo and Paseo de la Reforma Avenues heading north is 801, whilst 936 can be seen heading south.

 Enviro 804 is at the Campo Marte terminus whilst 902 waits to move into the bus bay behind. At first sight it was odd that for a batch of ninety buses flet numbers extended from 801 into the nine hundreds, but the delivery is split between two operators, Operadora Línea 7 (800 series) and Sky Bus Reforma (900 series). Alexander Dennis subsequently secured a contract to maintain and service all ninety buses.
