Overview

  • Fuerza Amplia de Transportistas scheduled a coordinated march and blockades for Monday, Sept. 1 starting at 7:00 a.m. to shut main entries to the capital.
  • Organizers named access routes including the MéxicoPachuca, MéxicoQuerétaro, MéxicoToluca and MéxicoPuebla highways, with participation estimated at about 7,500 units.
  • Leaders frame the action as a response to rising fuel and operating costs since 2020, citing gasoline at roughly 24 pesos per liter and diesel at 25.83 pesos in 2025.
  • The date aligns with the basic-education return to classes and the president’s First Informe, which the group acknowledges will heighten disruption.
  • Current CDMX fares typically range from 6 to 8 pesos; leaders seek roughly 10–12 pesos or fuel vouchers, noting the State of México has authorized increases, and some local media report the city plans mobility and security operations.
