About this plate
The Mexico City TAXI plate, "libre" (cruising) and "sitio" (rank) taxis share one order. Note the NOM shape A-0000-A is also the order Tabla C row 1 gives to federal "Pasaje Económico y Mixto", so this string is ambiguous on shape alone between a CDMX taxi and a federal economy passenger vehicle; the leyendas resolve it.
