Parking in Mexico City
Parking in Mexico City is a mix of street parking controlled by ''franeleros'' or parking space holders, but in some areas meters have been introduced. According to a survey by IBM, Mexico City had North America's worst parking and tied for 10th worst in the world, to IBM's survey, with 73 per cent of drivers in Mexico City having had to abandon their search for parking at some point during the previous 12 months.
==''Franeleros''==
Street parking in urban neighborhoods is mostly controlled by the ''franeleros'' (from ''franela'', the red rag they wave to gain the attention of drivers), a.k.a. "''viene vienes''" (lit. "come on, come on"), who ask drivers for a fee to park; in the Condesa neighborhood in 2012, 20 to 40 pesos (USD to ). The requested fee can be as high as 200 to 300 pesos (USD to ), for example during sports events in the area surrounding the Plaza México bullring (the world's largest) and the Estadio Azul soccer stadium.
The fee is in theory a tip to guard the car, but is in fact extortion,〔("Promete delegado ir por franeleros 'gallitos'", ''Más por más'', October 30, 2013 )〕 since there is the implicit threat that the ''franelero'' will damage the car if the fee is not paid. Double parking is common (with ''franeleros'' moving the cars as required), impeding on the available lanes for traffic to pass.
As of October 2013, there are almost daily reports about ''franeleros'', whether about local authorities trying to expel them, or ''franeleros'' refusing to leave such areas, or ''franeleros'' breaking parking meters.〔(News reports on ''franeleros'' in Mexico City in ''Más por más'', October 2013 )〕
