How Today It Doesn’t Circulate Saturday works

Hologram 2: it does not circulate on any Saturday of the month.

Hologram 1: depends on the final plate number:

Odd ending → first and third Saturday.

Even finish → second and fourth Saturday.

Fifth Saturday of the month: only cars with hologram 2 and foreigners rest.

Check your hologram and final license plate number before leaving. Complying with Hoy No Circula Sabatino avoids fines and contributes to improving air quality in the Valley of Mexico.

Plan your day, take care of your pocket and breathe easy.
