According to what was reported by the Government of Mexico City, with the aim of improving the urban image, it will begin with the painting of murals in the stations of Line 5 of the Metrobus. The intervention already began last Monday and it is a total of 17 murals, one for each station, which will portray cultural elements of the neighborhood where they are located.
In addition to the murals, 33 green walls will also be rehabilitated in different stations on Line 5 of the Metrobús, while on Line 6 there will be 35.
With the artistic intervention, the circulation of the buses will not be affected, since the works are carried out at night, from 00:00 to 04:30 in the confined lane.
Finally, with this project it is planned that the Metrobús contributes to the socialization of culture and represents a cultural contribution to the community.
