Mexico City is preparing for the 2026 World Cup by enhancing its cycling infrastructure. The Secretariat of Mobility (Semovi) announced plans to install five temporary Ecobici stations, collectively capable of holding 2,000 bicycles, to serve fans attending matches at the Mexico City Stadium.
These new stations will be strategically positioned in the southern area of the capital. Their purpose is to provide convenient last-mile transportation options, reducing reliance on private vehicles. Key locations include Parque Avenida Tlalpan, Tren Ligero Las Torres, Bajo Puente Viaducto Tlalpan, the "Los Multis" courts, and Metro General Anaya.
The Ecobici system will also strengthen its integration with other public transport networks, such as the Metro and Metrobรบs. This connectivity aims to streamline travel for attendees. For those starting in the historic center, several existing Ecobici stations like Josรฉ Marรญa Pino Suรกrez and Bellas Artes will offer access to routes leading to the World Cup venue.
Semovi plans to boost Ecobici's operational capacity during the tournament. This includes continuous balancing, maintenance, and ensuring bicycle availability to meet the anticipated high demand. Fans can use the Ecobici app, available on iOS and Android, to check fares, station locations, and real-time bicycle availability.
