Transportation protests in Puebla

Overview

Protests in Puebla have caused significant transit disruptions. Initially, demonstrators blocked Bulevar 5 de Mayo, impacting the RUTA Line 3 system and forcing passengers to disembark and walk to alternative stops.

Later, independent taxi drivers staged a blockade on Rosendo Márquez Avenue in front of the Secretaría de Movilidad y Transporte. These drivers are protesting mobility restrictions and alleging favoritism toward the Consejo Taxista regarding access to the Periférico Ecológico. The demonstrators are demanding a formal meeting with department head Silvia Tanús Osorio to address claims that they are being denied work opportunities despite meeting state requirements.
