A challenging day for mobility is expected in the Mexico City metropolitan area this Monday, November 24, 2025. The combination of scheduled closures on the Metrobús system and road blockades announced by transport groups and agricultural organizations could generate major delays throughout the region.
Metrobús authorities confirmed temporary closures on Lines 1, 2, and 5 as part of a major maintenance program running from November 24 to December 5. The work will be carried out in phases, affecting different stations on specific dates.
These adjustments come alongside planned blockades on highways across at least 20 states, which could increase congestion on key routes and high-demand corridors.
Closed Metrobús stations on November 24
Metrobús reported the following scheduled closures:
Line 1 — Insurgentes
- Deportivo 18 de Marzo
Closed: November 24–26 - Revolución
Closed: November 24–25
Line 2 — Eje 4 Sur
- Rojo Gómez
Closed: November 28, from 22:00 until end of service - Iztacalco
Closed: November 19–December 5 (major maintenance)
Line 5 — Eje 3 Oriente
- 5 de Mayo
Closed: November 24 only - El Coyol
Closed: November 24 only
Authorities urged riders to plan ahead and consider alternative options, especially along Insurgentes, one of the busiest avenues in the city, where additional demand is expected.
Metrobús service hours
Regular operating hours will remain in place, with modifications only on routes connected to closed stations:
- Monday to Saturday: 4:30 a.m. to 12:00 a.m.
- Sundays and holidays: 5:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m.
Passengers are encouraged to check official updates for line-specific schedules.
Road blockades scheduled
In addition to Metrobús maintenance, several blockades are expected on key highways in Mexico City and the State of Mexico. Some of the affected routes include:
- Mexico–Pachuca
- Mexico–Toluca
- Mexico–Querétaro
- Mexico–Puebla
- Mexico–Cuernavaca
- Circuito Exterior Mexiquense
- José López Portillo
- Naucalpan–Ecatepec
- Gustavo Baz Avenue

These conditions may complicate travel to industrial zones, schools, and workplaces.

- Avoid non-essential trips.
