Metrorrey (Lightrail/Metro) in Monterrey, Mexico - Sistema de Transporte Colectivo Metrorrey

Line 1 opened on April 25 of 1991 and has 19 stations, it runs through the center of the city from the north-west to the eastern part of the Monterrey metropolitan area. Built as an 18.5 km (11.5 mi) long line, it runs parallel to the former 1887 Topo Chico tramline and is grade-separated as it runs on an elevated structure. A complete ride along this line takes about 27 minutes.
Line 2 has 13 stations and is 13 km (8.1 mi) long, it is also fully grade-separated, partially on an elevated structure and partially underground, running from the center of the city towards the north. The first 4.5 km (2.8 mi) long underground segment opened on November 30 of 1994 with 6 stations, with the possibility of transferring to Line 1 at Cuauhtémoc station. In 2005 construction began on an expansion to the line with a total investment of US$200 million. Said expansion comprised 2 phases, the first one being 3.2 km (2.0 mi) (1.5 km (0.93 mi) of it underground) long, it opened on October 31 of 2007 adding 3 more stations to the line.[3] The second phase added another 5.3 km (3.3 mi) of elevated railway along the center of the Universidad avenue and 4 more stations, it was inaugurated on October 9 of 2008 by Nuevo León Governor Natividad González Parás and Mexican president Felipe Calderón.
Line 3 has 8 stations and is 7.5 km (4.7 mi) long, it is grade-separated and runs mostly on an elevated structure, except the southern end section that connects with Line 2 at Zaragoza station. The two lines are operated jointly. Construction of Line 3 started in 2013 and was completed by January 2020, but the rolling stock had not been delivered; at that time, the estimated delivery for twenty-six rail cars was December 2020. It was eventually inaugurated on February 27, 2021 by Nuevo León Governor Jaime Rodríguez Calderón. ~Wikipedia

This is a light railway with heavy rail characteristics. A job well done!

¡EXCELENTE! ¡Qué maravilla! ¡ LA LIMPIEZA DE TODO! Everything is spotless cleaned!! SEPTA-Philadelphia take notice. Not everything has to look and smell like a rooting toilet.

Great video
Sorry I missed the live premiere (this due to flare up of severe sleeping disorder).
I like their 𝙨𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙖. It's much like ours here in the Twin Cities but definitely cleaner and runs more like an East Coast subway.
Keep up the good work.

Those old bombardier and CAF trains from the 90s will be gone soon. They order more of the Chinese CRRC new trains for this line

[@CarlosGomez-fd8hq]

Monterrey cuenta con mas de 5 millones 340 mil habitantes, cuenta con tres líneas de metro y otras 3 en construcción, esta creciendo exponencialmente y va a conta con los dos rascacielos mas grandes de Latinoamérica de echo ya cuenta con uno de ellos.

[@HXTTM3]

3 lines de monorriel y 2 líneas DRT, Monterrey va con todo.

[@jesusse9757]

¿Esos trenes son de la marca CAF?
¿Hay proyectada la ampliación de nuevas líneas?
Buen sistema👌Saludos desde España.

[@TrenesytransportesGDL]

Algunos son CAF, y otros de la marca CRRC, la empresa del gobierno Chino

[@sebastino6778]

Los primeros son CRRC los caf qué se iban a comprar en 2014 nunca se adquirieron porque salía estúpidamente caro y había inconsistencias en el contrato

[@jccruz2014]

I live in Nuevo León so that means I live in Mitras Poniente

[@Pejelo]

Too bad N.L. Governor choose the DRT for their 5th Line, THAT'S TERRIBLE.

[@DiegoRivera28]

Too bad, all due to those NIMBYs from Garza Sada. NIMBYs not just take street from us but also good public transportation...

[@josegomez780]

eso no es Metro¡
Es un tren ligero

[@xavig5343]

Es un metro.. el viaducto es totalmente segregado y transporta mas pasajeros por año que muchos supuestos metros del mundo
