Puebla Cablebús expansion and construction progress

Overview

Following protests in mid-2026 regarding environmental impact, the Government of Puebla has advanced the Cablebús urban mobility project. To mitigate ecological concerns, officials stated that project modifications reduced the number of trees requiring transplantation from 980 to 77, and the state plans to create a green corridor with 10,000 new trees. The project, estimated at 6.752 billion pesos, is supported by over 70 technical and environmental studies.

Construction has moved into an active phase. Following the approval of land donation decrees for stations at Parque Biblioteca, Parque Juárez, Amalucan, and Mayorazgo, work began in a staggered schedule. By late October 2026, construction officially commenced on the Parque Juárez, Parque Ecológico, and Amalucan stations.

To ensure technical standards, a state commission inspected manufacturing facilities in Austria and Switzerland, specifically supervising component production at Doppelmayr Seilbahnen and Fatzer AG. Specialized electromecahnical components for line four are expected to arrive at the Port of Veracruz between October 25 and October 31.

To promote transparency, the government launched a dedicated microsite providing weekly updates on permits and progress. The system is a core component of the SIM Puebla Integrated Mobility System, designed to integrate with the RUTA bus system and public bicycles via a single payment card. The network, featuring four lines and nine stations, aims to reduce travel times from 100 minutes to 44 minutes, eventually serving approximately 2,500 users per hour.
