This Sunday, April 2, summer time 2023 should have started; however, this measure was eliminated by the Mexican Congress last year, after having been applied for 26 years.
However, some people forgot this ‘little detail’ and shared on social networks that their phones, watches and other devices were automatically switched and They were an hour early.
This would not have been a problem if thousands of people did not have to go to work early on a Sunday, those who use the collective transport system and those who ‘got up early’.
Likewise, on social networks users showed that in Mexico City some people arrived at the entrances to Metro or Metrobús stations and the service had not yet started.
Due to the error in the change that should not be made to summer time, the residents of the capital who arrived earlier had to wait another hour until the Metro, Metrobús and other CDMX transport services began operations according to the real time.
The Metrobús even responded to users who asked what had happened to the service and why the stations were closed.
Good morning, The operation started normally. We thank you for your message.

Another failure was the exact time service of the static telephony on 030since up to this moment it indicates that the time of the center of Mexico corresponds to the summer time.
Metro and Metrobús schedule Sunday, April 2
These are the usual CDMX public transport schedules:
- Subway: 07:00 a.m. to 00:00 a.m.
- Metrobus: 05:00 to 00:00 hours

At the end of September 2022, the deputies endorsed the elimination of summer time. Later, the senators also confirmed the cancellation of the measure that had been put in place in 1996.
Sunday October 30, 2022 was the last day that the adjustment was made to the watches.
