Mexicable is an aerial lift line in Ecatepec de Morelos and Tlalnepantla de Baz, in Greater Mexico City, and one station in Mexico City proper. It was created by the Government of the State of Mexico.

Contents

The first part of this project was inaugurated on October 4, 2016. The line is 4.8 kilometres (3.0 mi) long and runs between San Andrés de la Cañada (in the Sierra de Guadalupe) and Vía Morelos (in Ecatepec), through five intermediate stations. [1] [2] It reduces traveling times between those points to 17 minutes, down from the hour-long commutes between the same points using ground transportation. [2] [3]

The Mexicable operates 184 cars, each with a capacity 10 passengers. The predicted capacity is 3,000 passengers per hour for each line [4] and 29,000 passengers per day, with a fare of 9 pesos [5] as of July 2020.

The New York Times reported in 2016 that the Mexicable has brought some urban renewal to the areas served by stations. Streetlights were installed, roads were paved, and about 50 murals were commissioned along the route. [2]
