Overview
- Drivers linked to Ruta 101 placed buses and vehicles across key roads and bridges around Nezahualcóyotl, Chimalhuacán and Periférico Norte, producing major delays and long walks for stranded riders.
- The blockades disrupted Mexibús routes and forced the temporary takeover of the Autopista Mexiquense, with passengers reporting long waits and some alleged fare surcharges by private operators.
- Protesters say the action began outside the municipal fiscalía because the route's leader is detained and they want his release, while authorities have not publicly detailed the leader's charges or legal status.
- The Union Ducks México A.C. issued a statement claiming it reached an agreement with municipal officials and disavowed some blockades, but on-the-ground groups continued actions and suspended Ruta 101 services as pressure tactics.
- Officials and transport leaders face a fraught standoff that could prolong mobility chaos, raise security tensions after minor scuffles with police, and deepen fractures between formal unions and local protesters.
