Mexico City Metrobús accessibility and mobility trends

Overview

The Mexico City Metrobús system is undergoing accessibility upgrades to support passengers with visual impairments. The maintenance program includes the rehabilitation of approximately 1,200 linear meters of tactile paving and the replacement of 114 manhole covers across Lines 1, 2, and 3. To reduce commuter disruption, work is being scheduled primarily during weekends.

This infrastructure work occurs alongside shifting urban mobility patterns in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area. Data from INEGI shows that Metrobús passenger numbers decreased by 6.7% in July 2026 compared to the previous year. Conversely, other electric transport systems experienced growth, with the Trolebús increasing by 20.9%, the Tren Ligero by 10.3%, and the Cablebús by 5.2%.
