Sustainable mobility in CDMX will be at the center of preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. As one of the host cities, Mexico City is implementing a wide range of transportation improvements to welcome millions of visitors.
But the vision goes further than the tournament: these projects aim to build a cleaner, safer and more connected urban environment for the future.

Key Investments in Sustainable Mobility in CDMX
Sustainable mobility in CDMX involves new infrastructure, starting with a trolleybus line from Ciudad Universitaria to Huipulco, passing by the iconic Azteca Stadium. This will be vital for moving crowds efficiently during matches.
The Light Rail system will also be upgraded with 17 new trains and the addition of the Ajolote Train, which is designed for full accessibility. Daily capacity will rise to 400,000 passengers.
Additionally, the CETRAM Huipulco station will be fully remodeled to provide a more efficient and modern experience for commuters.
Bikes and Electric Buses for a Greener City
To reinforce sustainable mobility in CDMX, a 36-kilometer bike lane will be built along Calzada de Tlalpan. It will connect to other existing routes and include bike parking spaces in key locations like Tasqueña and Ciudad Universitaria.
Electrification is also gaining ground. The locally developed Olinia electric bus signals Mexico’s growing capacity to lead in zero-emission transit.
These measures are not only timely but strategic, using the World Cup as a catalyst to upgrade the city’s mobility landscape.
Sustainable mobility in CDMX will ensure a better experience for World Cup fans, but also leave lasting improvements in security, efficiency and environmental performance.
From Latam Mobility, we invite public and private actors to seize this moment and accelerate the adoption of sustainable transport. The opportunity is now.
