Tijuana Cautiously Reopens After Weekend Attacks

Public transport operates normally according to the state mobility authority.

Overview

  • Street activity remained unusually light on Monday, with some services and all school levels suspended for the day after vehicles and businesses were set on fire Sunday.
  • Oxxo convenience stores reopened citywide at 10 a.m. following preventive closures, while at least two Farmacias Roma branches were attacked and shut on Sunday evening.
  • Bus and taxi operators reported sharply lower ridership and formed WhatsApp safety networks, saying they will scale back service if violence flares again with backing from Imos.
  • Many workers returned to their jobs despite fear, and some employers offered remote attendance options in case of transport concerns.
  • Some businesses kept modified operations to protect staff, including a travel agency that shifted customer service to online and WhatsApp channels for an indefinite period.
