CDMX Clarifies Metrobús Backpack Rules After Confusion

Passengers may board with backpacks if they lower them or use designated storage to keep aisles clear.

Overview

  • Authorities refuted reports of a blanket ban, stating that access with backpacks is permitted.
  • New guidelines ask riders to place backpacks on the floor or in marked areas to improve circulation and safety.
  • Metrobús is installing baskets and designated storage spaces on articulated units for bags and luggage.
  • The city’s Mobility Regulation already bars very large or bulky items and allows denying entry for voluminosos.
  • Officials emphasized awareness campaigns and indicated there are no immediate monetary penalties for ordinary noncompliance.
