The president took the opportunity to commit to not increasing the cost per trip on the Metro, whose real price is 13 pesos but only five pesos are charged to users.
“The most important social program that the city has is the Metro fare subsidy, so I declare here that the Metro fare will not increase,” he said.
Brugada highlighted that with the reopening of the Observatory terminal it will become one of the most important mobility nodes, especially given the upcoming inauguration of the last section of the Interurban Train ‘El Insurgente’ Mexico-Toluca.
“This large Observatory complex is going to become the most important metropolitan connectivity node. Today you will be able to connect from Toluca, travel on the next train ‘El Insurgente’, which our president (Claudia Sheinbaum) will soon inaugurate, arrive at this complex, take Line 1 and get off to Pantitlán and then travel along Line A throughout Zaragoza to Metro Santa Martha, where you can take the Elevated Trolleybus to Chalco.
“That is, from Toluca to Chalco, from the west to the east, we will have great connectivity and that gives us great pleasure,” he stated.
Adrián Rubalcava, general director of the Metro, stated that the Metro facilities and staff are prepared to serve users.
“The Metro is ready to provide full service on Line 1 from Pantitlán to Observatorio. Since last Thursday, the blank march was carried out, which means that the verification stages of all systems have been completed and we can say that we are going to operate successfully,” he commented.
