They're always friendly because they hate confrontations.
Yeah, but I want to spend my time like I was living in the city, that means a ton of time in shops, restaurants, etc. Interactions with the locals. Sounds like not the best time to do that. Will wait to see how it shakes out.
On our last visit, I was very cognizant of the hard working folks. We tipped generously. The price of ubers are insanely cheap. I don't understand how the drivers actually make any money. Going from the Reforma area to historic center for $3 or $4 dollars? Our tips were often larger than the fare itself.
