In Ecatepec, the Mexican Navy and municipal police are launching joint patrols to enhance security on the Mexibús public transport system. These security measures aim to provide a safer environment for commuters utilizing Lines 1, 2, and 4 of the bus rapid transit system.

The deployments are designed to be random, ensuring unpredictability and a wider coverage across the specified routes. Patrols will take place both within stations and aboard the transport units themselves. The presence of canine teams is also part of the strategy, offering an additional layer of security and deterrence.

In addition to physical patrols, the initiative seeks to promote the use of the Red Violet application. This app is likely designed to facilitate reporting of incidents or provide safety information to passengers. The combined approach of visible security presence and technological support aims to improve the overall safety experience on the Mexibús.
