In Sinaloa, Mexico, authorities have implemented several initiatives to modernize and secure urban transport. The process began with the refurbishment of 200 buses in Culiacán, which were upgraded with improved mechanical conditions, new bodywork, and safety technologies such as GPS, interior cameras, and panic buttons to coincide with the 2026-2027 school year.

Subsequent reports indicate that these technological implementations have yielded measurable results. In Mazatlán, 100% of buses are now equipped with GPS and panic buttons, which has led to zero recorded robberies. In Culiacán, video surveillance has been integrated into over 75% of units. Additionally, driver training programs conducted in collaboration with Icatsin and Conalep have contributed to a 75% reduction in urban transport accidents across the state.
