Metrorrey (Lightrail/Metro) in Monterrey, Mexico 2023 - 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

what i found curious about Metrorrey is that, is a Light Rail yet have all the specifications of a Metro system, no cars stopping at ground level for a train to pass, it reminds me of some lines in LA. Monterrey is a good example for other Northern American cities for wanting to have a decent mass transit system, also they are adding 2 monorail lines, Line 4 and 6, and one DRT line, line 5 (we all wanted to be a monorail or light rail tho)

[@angelcamacho9704]

Actualmente se están construyendo las líneas 4,5 y 6, además del tren suburbano que atraviesa la ciudad y llega al aeropuerto, quedando con una red de 170 km aproximadamente.

Woah I didn't even know that this existed! I really want to visit Mexico, they have a lot of cool transit there it seems

[@Capibaracapibara1992]

Monterrey, Mexico City Area and Guadalajara have their urban train systems, sadly there are no interest in other cities to have their urban rail systems :(

[@scottyerkes1867]

Nice system. Great looking cars. Thanks Tim💚👌

[@edwardmiessner6502]

Looking forward to seeing this!

[@chromebomb]

VERY NICE!

[@moishglukovsky]

Looks a lot like Los Angeles. Except there are more people speaking Spanish in Los Angeles.

[@mrxman581]

And a bunch of other languages too.

[@dancingwithnacos]

How in the world would be more people speaking in Spanish in LA if this is México's second largest city with almost 6 million people living here 😁

[@moishglukovsky]

@@dancingwithnacos That’s called a joke.

[@merccadoosis8847]

Excellent system. Thanks for sharing. Sorry I couldn't be here for the premier as I had a youth hockey game to attend this morning. @ 05:00 "muevete sin acoso" means 'move yourself without harassment' @Tim ~ at the 07:30 you indicate you were told not to film ~ by whom? security? police? or someone trying to evade the law?

[@manm2007]

I can almost guarantee that it was just a guard.

[@Amongos777]

The "Muévete sin acoso" sign is from the preferential car for women

[@merccadoosis8847]

@@Amongos777 interesting since that would be informal - normally, a more formal method would be more proper such as "Muévese, por favor" or something to that effect.

[@josephecija6144]

Hope you can do Manila :). lrt line 1, lrt line 2 and mrt line 3. There will be future lines being constructed as of right now. :)

[@mrxman581]

The system started in 1991 about the same time the one in Los Angeles started, but it's only 40km (25 miles) long. The Los Angeles one is about 152km (94.5 miles). Los Angeles continues to expand it. Hopefully, Monterey will too. The city has grown a lot. I wished Tijuana had something similar since it's now the 2nd largest city in Mexico.

[@Capibaracapibara1992]

Monterrey is adding 2 monorail lines , linea 4 and 6 and one DRT line, line 5 by 2026!

[@josephrodriguez5510]

Tijuana metro area is the 6th not second
