During a visit to the city this week, Transportation and Communications (SCT) Secretary Gerardo Ruíz Esparza announced that sections of metro-area Guadalajara’s much anticipated third Tren Ligero (subway) line could be up and running as early as October.
The line runs from Zapopan (to the northwest of the city) through the downtown core, and on to Tlaquepaque and the bus station in Tonala.
Ruíz Esparza said while it was unlikely that the five-station, below-ground section running beneath the city center will be ready by the fall, work on the overhead segments should be finished and ready to operate by then.
