Guadalajara Launches Free Feeder Buses Linking Northern Neighborhoods to Mass Transit

Developer compensation funds a SITEUR-run pilot that broadens low-cost access.

Overview

  • The new service, which began Wednesday, deploys 10 air‑conditioned vans on two free feeder routes in Huentitán and Lomas del Paraíso.
  • Buses run daily from 5:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. with about a 20‑minute frequency across roughly 92 designated stops.
  • SITEUR operates the feeders to connect riders with Line 1 of the light rail and the Mi Macro Calzada and Mi Macro Periférico busways.
  • Officials estimate coverage for about 63,000 residents across 15 neighborhoods with demand projected at up to 2,200 passengers per day.
  • The city acquired the 10 units with 8.1 million pesos from developer compensation, which authorities say avoids a direct municipal cost.
