In August 2026, the Mexico City Metro (STC) introduced new regulations for commercial spaces across 11 of its 12 lines. These rules require vendors to wear authorized uniforms and identification displaying specific permit details to help security and passengers distinguish authorized workers. The mandate also prohibits shouting offers, selling alcohol or illegal substances, and using stalls as warehouses.

Following these regulatory shifts, authorities conducted the ‘La Noche es de Todos’ operation between September 3 and September 5. Led by the Secretariat of Government (SEGOBC), these inspections targeted various boroughs to ensure regulatory compliance. The operation resulted in several business suspensions, closures, and the detention of individuals for breaking official seals.
