Michoacán Advances Cable Cars in Uruapan and Morelia Under Debt-Free Mobility Push

Officials describe a debt-free, clean-energy upgrade aimed at wider access.

Overview

  • State authorities say Uruapan’s cable car will be inaugurated on April 18, with Morelia’s system set to begin service on September 30.
  • The government reports investing more than 7 billion pesos from state resources for the mobility program, which includes cable cars, the Morebús system and bus fleet renewal.
  • Uruapan’s line is cited as 8.4 km with a 3,200 million‑peso investment and an expected reach of over 118,000 residents, with fares pledged to match conventional public transport.
  • Morelia’s first stage is described as running from Estadio Morelos to the Zoológico with six stations, a reported daily capacity above 22,000 riders and a planned extension to Santa María.
  • Officials assert 100% clean-energy operation and CO2 reductions, while published emissions figures vary across statements; Uruapan has already renewed 80 buses, with a plan to reach 240 supported by a 250 million‑peso down payment.
