Mexico City Transport Union Sets Oct. 29 Blockade Over Fare and Fuel Support Dispute

City officials say negotiations remain open with a proposal expected by November.

Overview

  • Fuerza Amplia de Transportistas plans to block major avenues and city access points on Wednesday, Oct. 29, with marches of units and possible service stoppages.
  • The group, which represents more than 8,000 concessionaires, is pressing for a two‑peso fare increase and a fuel bonus it says were promised but not delivered.
  • Union leaders cite more than 60 negotiation tables and a submitted feasibility study as evidence that talks have stalled without concrete results.
  • Government secretary César Cravioto said blockades will not accelerate decisions and indicated the administration aims to reach agreements in the coming weeks.
  • Transportistas point to a regional gap after the State of Mexico raised fares from 12 to 14 pesos, while Mexico City’s minimum remains at 6 pesos, and they urged the public to seek alternative travel for the protest day.
