The article outlines the Hoy No Circula vehicle restrictions for Mexico City and the State of Mexico on February 21, as well as service disruptions on Line 2 of the metro due to renovations.
The article provides information on the vehicular restrictions imposed by the 'Hoy No Circula' program for Saturday, February 21, affecting both Mexico City (CDMX) and the neighboring State of Mexico (Edomex). Shakira's upcoming concert at the Zócalo in Mexico City prompts readers to consider their transportation options given the suspension of metro Line 2 service at certain stations due to ongoing renovations.
The 'Hoy No Circula' program is a government initiative aimed at reducing air pollution by regulating vehicle circulation based on specific criteria. For the specified date, vehicles bearing hologram 1 with odd-numbered license plate endings (1, 3, 5, 7, and 9) will not be allowed to circulate, alongside those with hologram 2, regardless of their plate endings. This restriction is enforced from 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM in all 16 boroughs of Mexico City and the surrounding municipalities.
Moreover, the article highlights the importance of adhering to these regulations, as fines will be imposed for violations within the stipulated areas. The initiative serves not only to manage traffic congestion but also to contribute to improving air quality in the highly populated Valley of Mexico region, underscoring ongoing environmental efforts within the locale.
