Mobility in Mexico City faces a complicated Monday due to a series of marches, rallies, and blockades taking place from early morning in different parts of the capital. Among all the mobilizations, the protest by drivers of apps like Uber and DiDi stands out, although it will not be the only one affecting key roadways.
Main drivers' march: The main mobilization The largest protest of the day is led by digital platform workers, who are gathering from the morning at the Angel of Independence. The protesters advance along Paseo de la Reforma towards different points, such as app offices in the Juárez neighborhood and corporate areas in Polanco, causing disruptions on avenues like Reforma, Hamburgo, and Periférico.
The schedule is as follows: • 08:00 - 08:30 hours: Drivers' concentration • 09:00 hours: Contingents' departure • 10:30 hours: Approximate arrival at destinations
This mobilization seeks to demand better working conditions, including commission reductions and fairer rates.
Another march in the afternoon Additionally, a second march is scheduled for 16:00 hours, which will depart from the Hemiciclo a Juárez towards the Angel of Independence. This mobilization will also impact important roadways such as Avenida Juárez, Eje Central, and again Paseo de la Reforma, further complicating circulation in the afternoon.
Rallies and blockades at various points Throughout the day, various rallies are also being recorded that could cause partial closures: • From 07:30 hours, protests on Periférico Canal de Garay, in Iztapalapa. • At 10:00 hours, a meeting of active and retired police officers at the Zócalo. • At 12:00 hours, simultaneous concentrations in Parque Lincoln (Polanco), Plaza Tlaxcoaque, and Hemiciclo a Juárez. • At 14:00 hours, a mobilization in front of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation.
These activities increase vehicular and pedestrian traffic in key areas of the city.
Most affected areas Authorities anticipate significant impacts in: • Paseo de la Reforma • Historic Center • Polanco and Lomas de Chapultepec • Periférico Oriente • Avenida Juárez and Eje Central
The combination of marches, rallies, and possible blockades could generate significant delays for much of the day.
Recommendations to avoid chaos Given this outlook, the population is advised to: • Leave early • Avoid areas like Reforma and the Center • Use alternative routes such as Circuito Interior or Eje 1 Norte • Opt for public transportation when possible
The outlook for this Monday in CDMX points to a day with a strong impact on mobility, where the sum of protests could complicate travel both in the morning and in the afternoon.
