The Mobility Secretariat of Mexico City (CDMX)b has made available to the general public the use of bicycle parking lots that are located in different parts of the capital. Following the measures implemented by the capital's government in the area of mobility and public transport services in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, bicycle trips became an alternative to get around the city and avoid crowds.
In this way, in addition to the Ecobici service, which belongs to the Integrated Mobility plan, ten bicycle parking lots were set up in the capital so that citizens can safely store their bicycles and continue moving to other parts of the city.
According to Semovi, there are currently three massive bicycle parking lots and they are located in El Rosario, Pantitlán and La Raza, while the other seven are semi-massive. In this way, users will be able to protect their bikes at the following homes:
