Mexico City Metro Keeps Regular Hoy No Circula Rules for Saturday, May 16

Officials maintained the standard schedule despite early reports of poor air quality.

Overview

  • CAMe, which confirmed Saturday there is no air‑quality contingency, kept the third‑Saturday schedule from 5:00 to 22:00 in the 16 Mexico City boroughs, conurbated State of Mexico municipalities, and the Toluca and Santiago Tianguistenco metro zones.
  • Vehicles that must stay off the road are Hologram 1 with odd plate endings 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, all Hologram 2 cars, and foreign‑plated vehicles.
  • Exempt vehicles include those with 00 or 0 verification, electric or hybrid cars, motorcycles, public transport, emergency units, and cars with authorized disability plates.
  • The city’s air monitors reported at 6:00 that PM10 pollution pushed air quality to “poor,” and authorities are updating readings each hour in case conditions trigger stricter measures.
  • Drivers who ignore the rules face fines of 20 to 30 UMAs, equal to about 2,346 to 3,519 pesos, and traffic police can tow non‑compliant vehicles.
