@CaBi Lover: yes, Metro does carry up to 1M people on the very busiest event days, but do keep in mind that [a] it was designed to carry that every day, and [b] each one of its trains can carry about as many people as the entire CaBi fleet can carry.

Hm, critics keep saying that either bike sharing only works for poor people in China (where the largest systems are) or for rich people in DC, Denver, Boston, and Minneapolis (all among the wealthiest cities in the country) or Mexico City (where it's only in some rich neighborhoods). Or... maybe... get this... it works for everyone, rich and poor! Wow.

I don't see the economic feasibility of digging quite that far underneath the Zócalo, particularly given the muddy and unstable dirt underneath. However, I would be curious to see just how far underground sunlight could penetrate using a similar design.
