Mexico City Steps Up Transit Fare Enforcement With Fines Up to 60,000 Pesos

Passengers should report overcharges, with operators required to display the new distance‑based tariffs plus the 20% night surcharge.

Overview

  • Semovi has intensified inspections and can temporarily remove units from service, with repeat violations triggering concession revocation proceedings.
  • Updated fares took effect on Nov. 1: microbuses and vans cost 7.50–9.00 pesos by distance, buses 8.50–9.50, and concessioned corridors 9.50, with a 20% surcharge from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m.
  • Drivers who charge above the authorized rate face monetary penalties ranging from 5,000 to 60,000 pesos in addition to operational sanctions.
  • Concessionaires must keep the official tariff visibly posted on vehicles, terminals and bases, and operators must follow authorized routes, speed limits and conduct rules.
  • Riders can report improper charges to Semovi via @LaSEMOVI on X, the CDMX Mobility Facebook page or Locatel (55 56 58 11 11) with the plate or unit number, route, time and location.
