Integrated mobility policy
Introduction
The Integrated Mobility System of Mexico City (MI) is a public transportation system established on April 15, 2019 by the Committee of the Integrated Public Transportation System of Mexico City (CISTP) with the purpose of administratively and operationally integrating all public transportation regulated by the Government of Mexico City.
A characteristic element of this integration is the Integrated Mobility Card which, since 2020, became the means of payment for all public transport in the city, currently being the only means of payment for all transport systems that are part of Integrated Mobility.
Background
Prior to the creation of Integrated Mobility, public transportation in Mexico City was regulated by each of the operating agencies of each of the means, despite the fact that all services were related to each other.
This situation caused a lack of coordination between the various public transport operators, most of them public, and others private, to prevail at the end of the second decade of the century, promoting inefficiency in the use of resources assigned to public transport, as well as their future planning.
Administrative structure
The Integrated Mobility System has as its regulatory body the Committee of the Integrated Transportation System of Mexico City (CISTP), which aims to design, implement, execute and evaluate the physical, operational, computer, image and means of payment articulation of the Integrated Public Transportation System.[1].
The CISTP belongs to the Ministry of Mobility and is made up of the following:[1].
Image approval
One of the elements of Integrated Mobility is the approval of the image of public transport. To achieve this objective, designer Lance Wyman, who designed the image of the Mexico City Metro, was commissioned to design the identity of all Integrated Mobility systems.
