Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo and Mexico City Head of Government Clara Brugada Molina have unveiled the project for Cablebús Line 4, which will span 11.4 kilometers between the boroughs of Tlalpan and Coyoacán—making it the longest urban aerial cable car system in the world.
During the announcement, Sheinbaum emphasized that this project fulfills a promise of the Fourth Transformation: to provide dignified and efficient transportation. “We are going to keep our word, because in the Fourth Transformation, commitments are honored,” she stated. The new line will connect Tlalpan with Ciudad Universitaria in just 40 minutes, significantly reducing current travel times that can reach up to two hours.
The project will include eight stations: Universidad, Cantera, Perisur, Mercado Hidalgo, Ceforma, Parque Morelos, Cultura Maya, and Pedregal de San Nicolás. It is expected to serve approximately 65,000 users per day. The fare will be 7 pesos, with full accessibility for students, workers, and residents across 30 neighborhoods in Tlalpan, nine in Coyoacán, and communities near UNAM.
Mayor Clara Brugada also announced that construction will begin this year on two additional lines: Álvaro Obregón–Magdalena Contreras and Milpa Alta–Tláhuac. In 2026, new routes will be launched in Cuajimalpa and Xochimilco. The city also plans to acquire 500 RTP buses, expand the Light Rail system, and extend the Ecobici program.
As part of the national mobility strategy, President Sheinbaum also highlighted progress on major rail projects including El Insurgente Train, the extension of Metro Line 12, and new long-distance routes connecting Mexico City to Pachuca, Querétaro–Nuevo Laredo, and Nogales. The government is also working to repurpose freight rail lines to link central Mexico with the Gulf Coast.
