  • The State of Mexico's Secretariat of Mobility reported progress on the construction of Mexibús Line V, a project involving over 1.65 billion pesos in investment.
  • Work is underway on several stations along Vía Gustavo Baz, including demolition, excavation, and foundation laying, with complementary efforts to protect hydraulic infrastructure.
  • The new line aims to provide an agile and efficient transport system for over 3 million residents in the region, connecting to various metro and bus lines.

Construction is advancing on the fifth line of the Mexibús bus rapid transit system in Mexico State, connecting Lechería to El Rosario. The Secretariat of Mobility announced progress in demolishing pavement, excavating land, and laying foundations for the dedicated bus lanes.

Work is visible at stations like Henry Ford, Orquídeas, Toltecas, and José María Morelos along Vía Gustavo Baz. Officials are also undertaking complementary work to safeguard existing water pipelines, ensuring the system's future functionality. The project represents a significant investment of 1.65 billion pesos.

This new line is designed to serve over 137,000 residents across Tultitlán, Cuautitlán Izcalli, Tlalnepantla, and Naucalpan in Mexico State, as well as Azcapotzalco in Mexico City. The 30.3-kilometer route will feature 30 stations and utilize 58 modern units. It is also planned to integrate with existing public transport networks, including Metro lines 6 and 7, Metrobús Line 6, Trolebús lines 4 and 6 at El Rosario, Mexibús Line II, and the Suburban Train.

The idea is to provide the region, where more than 3 million people live, with an agile, inclusive, and efficient transport system that contributes to reducing travel times, improving the quality of life of the population, and strengthening family coexistence.
