CDMX Sets Line 3 Metro Tender Window and Start Date in World Cup Transit Push

The first government report fixes Line 3 timelines to anchor a broader upgrade program before 2026.

Overview

  • Public tender for Line 3 modernization is slated for December 2025 to March 2026, with works scheduled to begin in December 2026 and a purchase plan for 45 new trains.
  • Line 2 will undergo a roughly 1,730‑million‑peso rehabilitation that includes overhauls for 28 NM‑02 trains, station information upgrades in eight stops, power and pumping works, fire‑safety interventions, and surface‑station refurbishments.
  • The Tren Ligero program includes acquiring 17 double‑car trains, upgrades to catenary and terminals, accessibility fixes, and passenger information systems, with completion projected around March 2026.
  • Line 1 continues with September closures at Juanacatlán, Tacubaya and Observatorio, with RTP shuttles operating from Chapultepec to offset disruption; authorities note Zócalo‑Tenochtitlan could close temporarily around Independence Day events.
  • The first phase of the Línea Cero envisions a trolebús service from Estadio Olímpico CU to Metro Chapultepec on Circuito Interior, with technical studies completed in 2025 and no start date announced.
