The Metropolitan Transport Authority (AMET) determined that it is illegal that minibuses detour from their route to take the Mahatma Gandhi short cut. Residents in the area recently corded off the street in protest for the passing of the minibuses. Since February of last year there have been 19 deaths at the intersection of Mahatma Gandhi and Juan Sánchez Ramírez streets. The AMET said it is coordinating with the National Police to stop the minibuses from taking that shortcut.
