While waiting to board Mexico City’s A Line subway train at the Pantitlan Station, Maria Zamora went into labor. At 8:34 a.m., she gave birth to a beautiful and perfectly healthy baby boy – a baby boy who received a very interesting “Welcome to the World” gift: free Mexico City subway rides for life.
As it turns out, paramedics found both mom and baby in good enough health to transport; they were sent to Mexico City’s Balbuena Hospital for Women. According to Latino Fox News, both appeared to be in good health prior to the transport.
In the hours following Zamora’s delivery, Twitter accounts across Mexico were tweeting with the hashtag #Pantitlan. The massive social media reaction prompted an official response from Mexico City’s Mayor, Miguel Angel Mancera.
“The baby will have the benefit of using the @STCMetroDF for free for life #mm” Mancera posted on his Twitter account, @ManceraMiguelMX.
Zamora’s baby wasn’t the only one getting recognition, however. The officers that helped in the delivery also received some attention from the city’s government.
While we’ve covered plenty of odd birthplaces, not all of them result in a “Welcome to the World” gift quite like this one. However, this isn’t the first delivery to receive life transit for free.
Back in 2009, a woman gave birth to her baby while 2,000 feet in the air aboard an AirAsia flight from Penang, Malaysia to Kuching, Borneo. The plane ended up making an emergency landing to try and get the mother to the hospital in Malaysia’s capital of Kuala Lumpur. But baby wouldn’t wait. AirAsia gave the mother, Liew Siaw Hsia, and her baby free flights for life.
