The Mexico City government will extend Metrobus hours on some lines this Saturday, March 28, for the Estadio Banorte reopening featuring the Mexico vs Portugal match. Metrobus director Rosario Castro announced the measure on social media. No parking will be available for private vehicles at the venue.
The Estadio Banorte will be reinaugurated on Saturday, March 28, following renovations to prepare it for the 2026 World Cup. The event features a match between Mexico and Portugal national teams. With no parking available at the stadium, Mexico City authorities have introduced measures to ease access via public transport. Metrobus general director Rosario Castro announced that lines 5, 1, 2, and 7 will operate until 1:00 a.m. Line 5, running from Preparatoria 1 to Río de los Remedios, normally closes at midnight on Saturdays, while the other three already run until 1:00 a.m. Mobility Secretary Ulises García Nieto outlined a special operations plan starting four hours before the match. It includes road closures on Calzada de Tlalpan, with Viaducto Tlalpan as a relief route, and boarding and alighting points on avenues such as Acoxpa, Renato Leduc, El Vergel, and Santa Úrsula. The Tren Ligero will operate normally, but Estadio Azteca station will close from 3:00 p.m., requiring passengers to disembark at nearby stations. These steps aim to bolster transport in the capital's southern zone and ensure safe movement for fans.
