Mexico City Cablebús Expansion Reaches 20% Completion, Over 17 Billion Pesos Invested

Construction on three new Cablebús lines in Mexico City is underway, with civil and electromechanical work reaching about 20% completion. The lines, numbered 4, 5, and 6, are being built in the higher-elevation areas of the city.

Line 4 will connect the Universidad transport hub in Coyoacán with Pedregal de San Nicolás in Tlalpan. Line 5 will run from the Mixcoac transport hub in Álvaro Obregón to La Magdalena Contreras. Line 6 will extend from the Tláhuac Metro station to Milpa Alta.

"Today, the three new Cablebús lines are no longer a project on paper; they are ongoing works," stated Mexico City's Head of Government, Clara Brugada. She added that by the end of 2026, authorities aim to achieve 40% completion for these lines.

Today, the three new Cablebús lines are no longer a project on paper; they are ongoing works. Between the civil and electromechanical work, we have reached an advance of about 20% and by the end of the year, we estimate reaching 40%.

The total investment for these three lines exceeds 17 billion pesos, funding the construction of nearly 40 kilometers of new Cablebús routes. This expansion is expected to benefit more than 200,000 people daily. Brugada emphasized that these are simultaneous construction efforts, not just studies or executive projects.

Beyond transportation, Brugada highlighted the environmental benefits, stating that the construction of these three lines is equivalent to planting 668,000 trees in Mexico City.

We are not talking about studies, we are not talking about executive projects, but about three simultaneous work fronts.
