Overview
- Service now runs end to end from Pantitlán to Observatorio after a phased renewal that rebuilt tunnels, track, power and stations across 20 stops.
- Officials cite a 40‑minute terminal‑to‑terminal ride, capacity for about 850,000 daily riders and a fleet of 39 trains under SGS‑verified safety certification for automatic train operation.
- Observatorio was demolished and reconstructed to function as a multimodal hub designed to connect with the México–Toluca interurban service.
- The Tren Interurbano (“El Insurgente”) finished civil works and is installing systems with safety tests underway, with authorities targeting an early‑2026 opening over 57.7 km and an estimated 140,000 passengers per day.
- In Lima, Line 1’s capacity expansion moves toward a 2026 contract addendum and financing decision, with plans for 31 new trains and electrical upgrades and no immediate fare increase announced.
