Wednesday March of the CNTE: How does the Hoy No Circula operate on March 18 in CDMX and Edomex?
The CNTE plans a 72-hour strike, including a march in Mexico City, prompting specific traffic restrictions and public transport adjustments.
The National Coordinating Committee of Education Workers (CNTE) has announced a 72-hour strike, which will include a march from the Angel of Independence to the ZΓ³calo in Mexico City on March 18. Those planning to visit the Historic Center are advised to take necessary precautions due to the anticipated large gathering and potential disruptions in the area. Additionally, the regular traffic restriction program known as 'Hoy No Circula' will be in effect for the day, affecting vehicle circulation depending on their license plate numbers.
Individuals driving into Mexico City should be aware that the Hoy No Circula restrictions will be in place from 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM, designed to curb air pollution and enhance environmental quality in the Valley of Mexico Metropolitan Zone. Vehicles displaying red stickers with plate endings 3 and 4 will be prohibited from circulating during this time. Failure to comply can result in fines imposed in both Mexico City and the adjoining municipalities in the State of Mexico.
Moreover, public transportation users should note that the Metro Line 2 will undergo construction, necessitating alternative transport options via RTP (Passenger Transport Network) for affected stations. This multifaceted situation poses challenges for commuters due to both the strike activities and operational changes, emphasizing the need for planning and adaptability in navigating the city on that day.
