Free Public Transport Announced for World Cup in Nuevo León

Nuevo León's governor, Samuel García, announced that free public transportation will be available for attendees of the 2026 FIFA World Cup matches hosted in the state. This measure is designed to ease fan access to stadiums and the Fan Fest. García highlighted that unlike other host cities where stadiums are over an hour away from the center, Nuevo León's venue is only seven kilometers away.

The governor detailed plans for exclusive routes connecting the city center to the stadium and free Metro services between the Y Griega and Exposición stations, facilitating travel to and from the stadium and the Fundidora park. He also noted the completion of the "FIFA corridor" on schedule. Abraham Vargas, director of the Metrorrey Collective Transport System, explained that the modernization of Metro Line 1 focused on enhancing safety and technology, including universal accessibility, improved comfort with new benches, and protection from the elements with expanded roofing at the Exposición and Y Griega stations, ensuring 100% platform coverage.

Paco Reyes, representing artists who created murals on Metro infrastructure as part of the "Trazos Mundialistas" program, stated that art strengthens a society's sense of belonging to its spaces. The article also includes a call to action for readers to join a WhatsApp channel for news updates.
