Shortage of units
For his part, the Secretary of Mobility of the CDMX, Andrés Lajous, reported the details of the strategy on lines 1, 2 and 3 for the transfer of passengers.
Lajous said that on Monday, in addition to the 240 RTP units, 607 Metrobus units, 790 concessions, 112 trolleybus units, 9 Mexibú units and 106 units of the Secretariat of Citizen Security were supported.
According to the official, on the morning of this Monday the points of greatest influx were: Pantitlán, Zaragoza, San Lázaro, Tacubaya, Cuatro Caminos, Chabacano, Indios Verdes, Centro Médico and Zapata.
He said the problems identified were: disorientation of users and shortages of units at some points.
In response, the authorities will strengthen the information campaign, distribute the units based on demand, send empty units to higher saturation stations and have more staff.
Lajous said they will be on the lookout for the flow in Chapultepec, Tacubaya and Pino Suarez this afternoon to send empty units if necessary.
Also modified have been the routes of the concessioned transport that runs through Calzada de Tlalpan so that from Tasqueña reaches four roads, entering through the Historic Center.
In the case of Line 3, the concession routes that reached only Zapata will be traveled to the Medical Center. This same line will also feature more RTP units in Green Indians.
