Mexico City Transport Coalition Sets Oct. 29 Road Blockade Over Stalled Fare Deal

The group cites prolonged negotiations with unfulfilled pledges on fare relief as the breaking point.

Overview

  • Fuerza Amplia de Transportistas says thousands of units will block main access roads and avenues across the capital on Wednesday, October 29.
  • The coalition frames the action as a last resort after more than a year of talks and over 60 working meetings without concrete outcomes.
  • Leaders accuse Government Secretary César Cravioto and Mobility chief Héctor Ulises García Nieto of deflecting responsibility despite earlier assurances from Governor Clara Brugada.
  • FAT says it submitted a feasibility study and seeks a fare increase and a fuel bonus, arguing operating costs have surged.
  • The group highlights a regional gap, noting the State of Mexico’s minimum fare rose to 14 pesos while Mexico City’s remains at 6 pesos, and it has asked the public to plan alternate travel for the day.
