The government of Mexico City and the federal government of Mexico have announced the upcoming Cablebús Line 4, which, according to politicians, will become the longest urban cable car line in the world at 11.4 kilometers.

The new route, which will serve over 65,000 people daily, will shorten travel times and reduce the commute for residents of high-altitude and hard-to-reach areas in the southern part of the city from one hour to just 40 minutes.

The line is planned to include eight stations and connect 30 neighborhoods in Tlalpan as well as nine in Coyoacán. Additionally, it will provide access to marginalized areas such as Pedregal de San Nicolás and create strong connections to key points in the city’s transit network, including Metro Line 3, Metrobús Line 1, Trolleybus Line 12, and the tram.

To further improve accessibility and safety in the areas, the Cablebús project is complemented by “Safe Walkways.” These provide well-lit, walkable paths that allow passengers to reach the stations easily and safely on foot.

Mexico City currently operates three Cablebús lines. Since their opening, the three lines have handled over 160 million trips combined, significantly improving daily life and accessibility for people.
