Metrobús users on lines 1, 2 and 5 will have to adjust their daily route over the next two weeks. The Mexico City government announced that starting Monday, 30 stations in the system will undergo major maintenance work that will require them to be completely closed for at least two days. The work, which includes the refurbishment of furniture, curtains, glazing, electrical fittings and station lighting, will be carried out in phases over a two-week period: the first closures will take place on Monday 24 November and the last on Friday 5 December.
The greatest damage will occur on Line 5, which runs from Río de los Remedios, on Gustavo Madero’s border with the state of Mexico, to High School 1 in Xochimilco, south of the capital; It is followed by Line 1, which runs through the city from north to south parallel to Avenida de los Insurgentes.
