Demonstration Marking International Day of Indigenous Peoples Advances Reform Demands; Affects Metrobus Line 7 Operations
Mexico City, August 9, 2025 — The Indigenous Peoples March in Mexico City is causing disruptions to public transportation in certain areas, with the Line 7 Metrobus service operating on an alternative route. The march, which started at the Angel of Independence and is moving towards the Zocalo, is currently moving along the central lanes of Paseo de la Reforma.
According to the Secretary of Citizen Security, the Line 7 Metrobus service is operating on an alternative route from the Diana station to Paris. This route is towards Indios Verdes. The march's progression has caused some disruptions to the normal operation of the service.
It is important to note that Avenida Chapultepec is serving as an alternative route for the march. Floods have left 31 puddles and 14 fallen trees in CDMX on this Friday, separate from the march events. However, it is not specified whether these floods have affected the march route or the operation of public transportation.
The Indigenous Peoples March is part of the celebrations for the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, as well as the XI Indigenous Cultures Festival. The event is organised by Indigenous Peoples and Neighborhoods of Mexico City.
For the latest real-time traffic and Metrobus service updates, especially concerning Line 7 on the day of the march, it is recommended to consult the official Mexico City Metrobus social media channels or local traffic advisories closer to or on the day in question for precise details.
