Mexico City Metro merchants to wear colored vests, carry security cards

Merchants working within the Mexico City Metro system will soon be required to wear distinct colored vests and carry security cards. These items are part of a new regulation designed to manage commercial operations within the transit system.

According to Adrián Rubalcava, the Metro's general director, the vests will not be considered uniforms. Instead, they will be color-coded to match the specific Metro line on which the merchant operates. This visual cue is intended to help identify vendors and permit holders associated with particular lines.

Rubalcava explained that permit holders will receive specifications for the vests and will be responsible for acquiring them. He also noted that the security cards will feature security features to prevent duplication. These measures aim to standardize operations and improve the identification of authorized personnel within the Metro's commercial spaces.

They are vests that correspond to the colors; that will help us know if a vendor or permit holder is from that line or not, and also a card that will have certain security locks so they cannot be duplicated
