Nuevo León Delivers 25 New Buses for Route 160, Citing Noteworthy Street Improvements

Governor Samuel García of Nuevo León has officially handed over 25 new public transport buses for Route 160 Remanente Guadalupe-Apodaca, marking a significant upgrade for commuters in the region. The handover ceremony took place on August 6 at the Expo Feria Guadalupe parking lot and was attended by local officials, including Guadalupe Mayor Héctor García.

García highlighted that the fleet's renewal, a process spanning three years, has demonstrably improved the public transport service. He cited local indicators showing a "green" status with 72% satisfaction, and a University of Nuevo León (UANL) indicator noting that nearly 92% of buses now have functioning air conditioning. The new units are expected to enhance the daily travel experience for more than 164,000 residents in the municipalities of Apodaca and Guadalupe.

Beyond air conditioning, the new buses are equipped with internet access and GPS tracking, aiming to reduce wait times, increase capacity, and improve overall connectivity. Governor García also pointed to enhanced safety, with a 90% reduction in crimes on public transport attributed to the presence of the Metropolitan Division of Civil Force. Abraham Vargas Molina, director of the Collective Transport System Metrorrey and the Institute of Mobility and Accessibility (IMA), added that transversal routes are also being addressed to better connect municipalities, emphasizing that improving public transport is an ongoing effort requiring daily adjustments to meet citizens' needs.
