There is currently a redirect from Cuernavaca, Morelos to Cuernavaca, but the redirect should be replaced with an article for the municipality of Cuernavaca. [[User:GK|gK ¿?]] 13:42, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Yes, then we can tell the truth about the city. GeV

[edit] Some Clean-up

I've noticed a few errors in the article; one is that the word "colectivo" connects to an article about Argentinian public transportation. Besides that, so far I haven't heard anyone use the word "colectivo" for the buses in Cuernavaca. (I'm a Canadian who's been living in Cuernavaca since August.) I changed this to link the "Pesero" or "Microbus" of Mexico City, since its a much more related link.

Also, the article contains some English that needs fixing (e.g. from the Transportation section, "There is no way around" for "There's no way around it.")

Finally, as the previous quotation shows, large parts of the are worded like a traveller's guide. Another example: "Do not hesitate to order or just catch a cab in the city - it is usually very secure service." The article should present information from a more neutral perspective, rather than the local-giving-advice-to-tourist perspective.

I've started with the "Public Transportation" section.

The expression "colectivo" was also used in MXC, but probably younger lads don't know it; "microbus" is of relatively recent coinage (early 90's if I recall correctly), when most "peseros" were replace by small vans. Louie (talk) 01:08, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

On the other hand, I agree: some parts of the article sound like advertisement; I did a little cleanup today in the education section. Louie (talk) 01:08, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
