Mexico City's Tren Ligero to Cut Evening Service and Add Bus Cover During Modernization Starting March 7

Officials say the project installs a modern train‑control system to improve capacity.

Overview

  • Weekday operations will end at 22:00, with RTP buses and trolebuses taking over travel between Tasqueña and Xochimilco after that time.
  • On Saturdays from 06:00 to 22:00, RTP will replace trains between Tasqueña and Estadio Azteca, while trains continue running from Estadio Azteca to Xochimilco.
  • On Sundays the line will operate from 07:00 to 22:00 with the same partial substitution between Tasqueña and Estadio Azteca.
  • After 22:00 on weekends, all train service will be suspended and RTP buses will cover the full route until roughly 23:30.
  • Works focus on the Tasqueña–Estadio Azteca segment with specialized cabling, new equipment and station maintenance, and riders are advised to plan extra time as no end date has been provided.
