Traffic Chaos in CDMX due to Protests

Today, Monday, February 17, both the Metro and Metrobús in Mexico City have been affected by blockades and protests that have caused traffic chaos in various points of CDMX and the State of Mexico. This increase in the use of public transport has led to crowding and delays in both transport networks.

The most affected Metro lines reported at 10:00 AM on Monday are lines 3, 7, 8, 9, A, B, and 12, with reduced waiting intervals and high passenger volume. This has resulted in regulated access to stations near blockade areas, increasing delays in train operations.

Regarding the Metrobús, various stations and routes have been impacted due to social mobilizations in the capital. Users have experienced delays and slow bus progress, especially in areas where lanes designated for public transport have been blocked.

Users are advised to take precautions, leave in advance, and consider alternative routes or public transport to avoid setbacks on this complicated day for mobility in Mexico City. Provisional services and alternative routes have been established on some lines to mitigate the effects of the protests on transport service.
