๐Ÿš€ MATCHDAY UBER/LYFT SURVIVAL HACK (DESTINATION)

How to beat the Surge Pricing at Estadio Azteca (Mexico City):

Cell networks fail completely outside Azteca post-game. Take the Tren Ligero (Light Rail) 2-3 stops away from the stadium before trying to open your Uber app. Also, NEVER hail random street green cabs outside the gates for safety; only use verified app rides outside the immediate ring.

Official Gate Drop-off Area: Use the designated Uber zone on Calzada de Tlalpan. Avoid hailing random unverified street cabs.
