Valle de Juárez public transport protests

Overview

Residents of Valle de Juárez organized protests to demand the restoration of public transportation on the Juárez-Porvenir route, specifically the service known as ‘El Porve’. The mobilization follows the cessation of service by the company Star Soluciones, which residents claim has hindered their ability to access work, school, and medical appointments.

On October 25, protesters occupied toll booths at the Guadalupe-Tornillo International Bridge. Local organizers stated that the lack of service affects approximately 17,000 people, including elderly residents and workers, forcing them to rely on more expensive alternatives like taxis. While Chihuahua state officials indicated the issue is under review with the aim to restore service ‘as soon as possible,’ no definitive solution has been implemented.
