Mexico City’s RTP Restores Direct Student Routes to Schools and Universities

Mexico City’s Red de Transporte de Pasajeros is bringing back a service reserved for high school and university students as classes resume. The program, called “Safe Journey: Safe Youth,” offers direct trips between nearby Metro stations and participating campuses.

The buses will travel without intermediate stops, operate during special hours and offer a preferential fare to students who present their school credentials. RTP urged students returning to school to use the service at participating institutions according to each campus’s academic calendar.

The listed destinations include UNAM preparatory schools and College of Sciences and Humanities campuses, as well as several UNAM faculties. The network also includes campuses of the Autonomous University of Mexico City, the Metropolitan Autonomous University, the National Technological Institute of Mexico, the National Polytechnic Institute, the National Pedagogical University and Center for Multiple Attention 7.

Students seeking boarding points and schedules should contact the school services department at their institution. RTP said operations will adjust to each school’s needs and student demand.
