Overview
- Authorities published the national tender in the federal gazette for a first segment running roughly 30 km from Villas del Pedregal to the Lázaro Cárdenas monument with 55 stations and 74 buses.
- Gov. Alfredo Ramírez said construction is slated to begin in mid‑April 2026 with service targeted for the first quarter of 2027.
- Initial financing includes a 600 million‑peso Banobras grant matched by 600 million pesos from the state this year, with officials stressing the project does not add state debt.
- The corridor is projected to carry about 80,000 daily riders, cut travel times by up to 40%, and reduce emissions by around 44%.
- The system is designed for universal accessibility, will be free for people with disabilities, integrates cycling and safe‑crossing features, links to the planned cable car, and will charge the same fare as current public transport.
