Puebla Sets State-Run Cablebús Rollout as Cuajimalpa Designs Santa Fe Link

Puebla targets a 24-month build after contract award with Line 1 projected for late 2027 or early 2028 under state operation.

Overview

  • Carlos Orvañanos said Cuajimalpa’s aerial line is in design with Mexico City authorities, aiming to start construction between late 2026 and 2027.
  • Plans in Cuajimalpa propose a connection to the Tren Interurbano at Santa Fe, with demand studies to follow once the rail service begins operations expected in early 2026.
  • Puebla’s governor Alejandro Armenta confirmed the state will operate the first four lines, keeping concession as a contingency if budget constraints arise.
  • Puebla amended its Mobility Law to create a legal framework for Cablebús and launched procurement that requires completion within 24 months after the award, with payments scheduled through December 2030.
  • Authorities in Puebla outlined Line 1 from Estadio Cuauhtémoc to CIS Angelópolis and presented a broader vision of up to eight lines, with four planned this term.
