A new dedicated bus lane in Mexico City, designed to reduce traffic and pollution, receives mixed reviews from passengers.
Mexico City has long been considered one of the most polluted cities in the world.

The city has also set its sights on improving public transportation and just this summer inaugurated a dedicated bus lane down one of its busiest streets. Producer Jana Schroeder climbed onboard the metrobus to find out how the new system is faring.
