How to Use The Mexico City Cablebús
Posted: November 6, 2024 | Tagged: Mexico
This was my first time to use the Cablebús CDMX. I rode the new Line 3 from Vasco de Quiroga to Los Pinos
The Mexico City Cablebús has 3 lines with another one under construction. There are 19 cable car stations, covering 24.75 kilometres.
Each cabin can carry 10 passengers weighing between 75 and 80 kg each at a speed of 6 meters per second.
The ventilation system is located in the lower part of the cabin, so it does not require additional air conditioning systems.
They have interior and exterior lighting, as well as Wi-Fi and surveillance cameras.

The fare for each ride is 7 pesos, payable with the Mexico City Metro Card. They have machines in the stations where you can buy and top-up you card. Cash Only.
