130 km of temporary bicycle lanes to support safe travel in Mexico City

The Cycling Mayor's Office of Mexico City proposed a network of temporary bicycle lanes during the COVID-19 crisis to allow people to travel safely by bike. This will help to reduce travel on public transport, an important step given the potential risk of infection in enclosed spaces with a high number of people. It will also encourage a reduction in the use of private cars. The increased use of bikes will allow greater physical distancing on public transport, which will benefit people who have no other alternative.
