Mexico City, April 24, 2026
The Suburban Train has connected the northern Mexico City Metropolitan Area since 2008. Spanning 27 kilometers between Buenavista and Cuautitlán across seven stations, it transported 45.1 million passengers in 2025, positioning itself as one of the most utilized passenger rail systems in the country.
On April 26, the Lechería–AIFA branch will be inaugurated, marking the network’s first expansion. This new section adds seven stations and 23 kilometers, featuring a terminal located directly inside the Felipe Ángeles International Airport. The full journey from Buenavista to the airport will take approximately 39 minutes, compared to the nearly two hours the same trip can take by road depending on traffic. Trains will operate at 10-minute intervals from 5:00 AM to 12:30 AM, with full integration into the metropolitan transport system via the Integrated Mobility Card.
The line’s train-to-ground communications utilize TETRA technology from Teltronic. Throughout the entire route, including both the original section and the new branch, on-board equipment and base stations have been installed to guarantee continuous and secure communications during rail operations. This system is considered critical in railway environments, as it enables real-time coordination between trains, control centers, and emergency response teams in the event of any incident.
The network’s expansion continues: the branch connecting AIFA with Pachuca is currently under construction, with an estimated length of 57 kilometers and six stations. Teltronic’s communications infrastructure is slated to support this second expansion, extending coverage as the network grows.
