In late July 2026, Morelos state authorities fined ten public‑transport operators after a test showed they denied the mandatory five‑peso senior fare. The following week, Cuautla municipal officials announced covert inspections to enforce the same senior‑fare rule. Around the same time, Saltillo, Coahuila’s city council introduced an urban‑mobility ordinance that bans motorcycles from vehicular bridges and raises fines for safety violations, responding to a surge in motorcycle accidents. On 28 July 2026, Saltillo’s municipal government added a separate enforcement effort, issuing more than 150 fines for littering in public spaces, with revenues earmarked for equipment and service upgrades. The city continued refining its mobility regulation, proposing higher penalties for riding without helmets or plates and setting stricter rules for passenger safety. The same day, the state of Sinaloa began systematic monitoring of public‑transport operators after a recent fare‑adjustment agreement. Inspections will verify compliance with schedule commitments, the addition of air‑conditioned buses, installation of video cameras, panic buttons, and other safety gear. The Directorate of Roads and Transport also opened a 24‑hour WhatsApp line for passenger complaints and will enforce bans on opaque curtains and noisy sound devices. ~~These developments show a widening pattern~~ Further detail emerged as Sinaloa’s Directorate of ~~municipal~~ Vialidad y Transportes formally approved the fare increase and ~~state authorities across Mexico tightening fare‑discount enforcement~~ launched a permanent inspection regime. Operators pledged to keep first‑ and last‑bus services on schedule, add air‑conditioning, and equip vehicles with cameras, panic buttons and other technology. They also agreed to repower fleets—repairing engines, repainting bodies, and renewing brakes and drivetrains—before the 2026‑2027 school cycle. The director emphasized sanctions for ~~seniors~~ opaque curtains or glass that block exterior visibility and for loud horns, while ~~expanding broader transport‑safety measures, from waste‑fine penalties~~ urging passengers to ~~motorcycle restrictions and systematic compliance monitoring.~~ report issues via the dedicated WhatsApp line.
