What did Semovi say to the CDMX carriers?
The Ministry of Mobility (Semovi) reported on March 5 that the improvement process for capital transportation has already begun in routes 84, 91, 12 and 57.
For this reason, he said, these routes should go from having individual concessions to the formation of companies. “With these changes, bad practices will be eliminated, such as competition for fares, tortuguismo, poor service in general, and the lack of labor rights,” he said.
The CDMX unit recalled that since 2022 it has been in dialogue with the carriers, for which reason it has carried out a review of the documentation to achieve the Creation of the new transport company.
“However, the discontent of a minority group of these three routes is due to the fact that the vote was carried out to elect the president of the company, who was elected by majority.
