Members of the Fuerza Amplia de Transportistas announced potential blockades on key Mexico City roads this Wednesday, October 29, 2025, if no agreement is reached on fare increases. Mexico City Government Head Clara Brugada is maintaining dialogue and hopes for a solution by Friday, without committing to public fare changes. The transport workers demand aligning the fare to 14 pesos, as in the State of Mexico, plus a fuel bonus.
The Fuerza Amplia de Transportistas (FAT), grouping over eight thousand concessionaires in Mexico City and eastern Valle de México, demands a two-peso fare increase, from 12 to 14 pesos, to match the recent adjustment in the State of Mexico. They also request a fuel bonus amid high maintenance and operation costs. Francisco Carrasco, a FAT member, accused authorities in an interview of lacking willingness to negotiate, despite prior meetings like the early September one with Clara Brugada, who acknowledged lags in public transport.
A meeting was scheduled for Tuesday, October 28, at 4:00 PM at the Monument to the Revolution, but Carrasco noted no concrete proposals yet, such as a gradual increase. 'We didn't want to reach this moment... they haven't shown willingness until now,' he stated. If no agreement, blockades will start at 6:30 AM Wednesday on points like Insurgentes, Indios Verdes, Observatorio, and Tasqueña.
Brugada Molina reiterated ongoing dialogue and hoped for a Friday solution. 'We will continue meeting to reach an agreement... I hope by Friday we can have a solution,' she said in a press conference. She emphasized keeping fares unchanged, focusing on system modernization without impacting users. Potentially affected roads include Autopista México-Pachuca, Calzada Ignacio Zaragoza, Periférico Norte, Paseo de la Reforma, Calzada de Tlalpan, and Circuito Interior, though lists vary: one source mentions focused closures in south and north, while another expands to interstate highways like México-Cuernavaca and México-Puebla.
