(I don't mind crowded, but I'm becoming less tolerant of heat as I get older and getting heat rashes and such.) Regardless, I heavily recommend the Transit app for most cities worldwide, including Mexico City. Transit isn't great for preplanning, but excellent for "I'm ready to depart now on a trip to x destination. What's the best route from where I currently am?"

For Mexico City, we now primarily use Cabify or Uber, because it is door to door, not hot, and there have been averaging $5USD per ride (We had as low as $2.28 for one and $9.05). While the Metro is very inexpensive, the $5USD/ride for 2 of us made it worth it. It might be a bit more expensive now since we haven't been back since the pandemic, but we would still likely go with primarily Cabify on the next trip.
