Mexico City’s oldest and busiest metro line just got a major glow-up thanks to a team led by Chinese train maker CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive! 🚇✨ In April, Section B of the second stretch of Metro Line 1’s full renovation kicked back into action – reopening four key stations and delivering smoother rides for locals.
The ambitious project launched in 2022, combining brand-new trains and top-to-bottom system upgrades across 20 stations. With a service period of up to 19 years, this overhaul is about more than fresh paint – it’s a long-term investment in the city’s pulse. So far, 19 stations have been delivered and 17 are already up and running, easing traffic jams and boosting connectivity.
For daily commuters and metro lovers alike, these modernized trains boast better energy efficiency, quieter rides, and updated safety features. It’s a win-win for the environment and the urban beat. And with just one station left to finish, Mexico City’s transport network is on track for a total transformation.
Whether you’re a traveler planning your next adventure or a city dweller seeking a smoother commute, keep an eye on Metro Line 1 as it redefines urban mobility – one station at a time! 🌎🚉
