Both cargo and passenger transporters are exposed to various extortions and robberies , problems they have to face every day.
Faced with this situation, the group of passenger transport drivers “Ruta Hermanas” will demonstrate this Friday, January 17, to denounce extortion by various criminals, who “charge them a fee,” as they have made known through their social media accounts.
Due to these actions, the east of Mexico City and the State of Mexico will be affected by blockades by passenger transport operators, as well as some entrepreneurs of these routes.
The routes that will be affected are:
- Mexico-Cuautla Highway.
- Mexico-Texcoco Highway.
- Mexiquense Outer Circuit.
- Mexico-Pachuca Highway.
- Tollocan-Toluca Walk.
- Periférico and Pantitlán Avenue.
- Xochiaca border.
- Ignacio Zaragoza Avenue, near the Peñón metro station.
These types of extortions are common in the auto transport industry. According to the 2024 National Business Victimization Survey (ENVE) , published by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi) , transporting products on highways was the activity in which the economic activities surveyed expressed feeling the most insecure, with 52.2%, this perception experienced an increase of 2.2 percentage points compared to 2023.
Due to this decision, the National Chamber of Cargo Transport (Canacar) through its president, Miguel Ángel Martínez Millán, has stated that although businessmen are affected by the theft of units, the extortion suffered by companies in their facilities or on the routes they travel, demanding significant amounts of money, or kidnapping their collaborators.
