Their union, the Tram Workers Alliance of Mexico (Alianza de Tranviarios de México, ATM), previously secured vital investments in green transportation and saved hundreds of jobs in a 2016 “Save the Trolleybus” campaign that brought public transit users into their funding fight. The city invested in a fleet of new electric trolleybuses following the “Save the Trolleybus” campaign, but many workers haven’t been trained in their upkeep. “The majority of people in this city rely on public transit,” says Durán, “which gave us the push to say, ‘We have to defend the trolleybus,’ which has for years been not just an eco-friendly means of transportation, but also one of the city’s most affordable options.”
