Mexico City Metro Opens at 07:00 on Nov. 16 Holiday; Full Transit Hours
Metro runs 07:00 to 00:00 and Metrobús 05:00 to 00:00 on the Monday, Nov. 16 holiday. Hours for Trolebús, Cablebús, Tren Ligero, RTP and Ecobici, plus closures.
Mexico City’s Metro will open later than usual on Monday, Nov. 16, running from 07:00 to 00:00 because of the public holiday, the Secretaría de Movilidad (Semovi, the city’s transport ministry) said. The rest of the Red de Movilidad Integrada (MI, the city’s integrated transport network) will also run on special schedules, and Semovi asked riders to plan their trips ahead.
Anyone who rides the Metro to work early in the morning will need another option before 07:00. Metrobús starts at 05:00, and some Trolebús lines and Ecobici also begin at that hour.

Trolebús and Tren Ligero are run by the Servicio de Transportes Eléctricos (STE, the city’s electric transport agency).
What this means for errands and bikes
Vehicle registration offices (módulos de Control Vehicular) will not open on Monday, so license plate and vehicle paperwork will have to wait until another day. Ecobici’s customer service centers (CAPU) will also be closed, though the bikes themselves will be available during the hours above.
Riders can take their bicycles onto the Metro, Cablebús and Tren Ligero on the holiday, according to Semovi. Semovi’s notice did not give details on carrying bikes on Metrobús, Trolebús or RTP buses.
Late-night trips
Most services wind down around midnight. Ecobici runs the latest, until 00:30, while Cablebús stops first, at 23:00. Tren Ligero and most Trolebús lines end at 23:30, and the Metro, Metrobús and RTP buses run until 00:00. People heading home late from dinner or an event on Monday night should check which line they need before setting out, since a bus or cable car connection may already have stopped.
The holiday schedule covers Monday only. Semovi’s announcement did not include changes for other days.
