Jalisco Deploys 100 New Transit Units as Nuevo León Adds Buses, Pledges Two Metro Lines

The actions reflect state overhauls to replace aging fleets, expand coverage, improve frequencies.

Overview

  • Jalisco launched the first 100 of 203 vehicles under a 2,305 million‑peso plan for Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta, projecting immediate benefits for roughly 52,000 daily riders.
  • The initial Jalisco fleet comprises 12 natural‑gas Foton buses, 78 Mercedes‑Benz Euro V/VI diesel units, and 10 feeder vans operated by SITEUR for Mi Transporte Tren Ligero routes.
  • Jalisco plans to purchase 11 trains for SITEUR Lines 1 and 2 with 846 million pesos, targeting a 30% reduction in carriage crowding and three‑minute headways.
  • Remaining Jalisco funds are designated for electric units tied to Line 5 and Puerto Vallarta plus additional buses for Mi Macro Periférico and Mi Transporte Tren Ligero.
  • In Nuevo León, 16 new Volvo buses were delivered to route 224 within the Monterrey‑Guadalupe‑Juárez basin; officials report amenities and say frequency will improve from 15 to 12 minutes as Governor Samuel García claims 4,000 buses acquired and announces two new metro lines next year.
