Overview
- The government, which announced Thursday it had bought CAF and Omnitren’s stakes for 5,999 million pesos, now holds 100% of the system and will run it through the public fund Fonadin under the new name.
- The Lechería–AIFA branch opens Sunday, adding about 23–23.7 kilometers and seven stations to link Buenavista with the airport in roughly 40–43 minutes and is forecast to serve more than 82,000 passengers a day.
- Service parameters include an initial fleet of 10 trains, 15‑minute headways, operating hours from 5:00 to 00:30, and acceptance of Mexico City’s Integrated Mobility card for easier transfers.
- Officials said regular Suburbano fares remain in place and announced a first‑month 45‑peso price for the full airport trip, though some outlets reported an introductory 55‑peso figure.
- Final paperwork is still in progress, with asset checks by the infrastructure ministry and a competition review pending, while Fonadin assumes existing debt and the 57‑kilometer AIFA–Pachuca leg stands near 30% complete.
