Overview
- Effective Nov. 25, fixed amounts were replaced by minimum, medium and maximum ranges that rise with unpaid infractions, a shift authorities say aims to cut repeat offenses.
- Only female transit agents can issue tickets, wearing bodycams linked to the C5 and using handheld terminals for on-the-spot card payments, with additional payments at authorized outlets or online and a 50% discount if paid within 15 business days.
- Expanded surveillance includes plate-reading cameras and photo-enforcement limited to confined bus lanes and bikeways, with media reporting some fines default to the minimum during the initial database and automation rollout.
- Key sanctions include 16–20 UMA fines for invading Mexibús lanes and for driving without proper plates, with possible vehicle retention where applicable.
- Motorcycles face stricter controls: seven violations can lead to impoundment (no helmet, carrying children who cannot secure themselves, DUI, blocking pedestrian spaces, lacking or expired documents, or using confined lanes), transporting minors unsafely is fined 16–20 UMAs, and aggression toward agents carries 30–40 UMAs.
