Mexico Takes Its Mobility To The Next Level With Doppelmayr

The Cablebús Línea 1 system is reaching important milestones. The stations Indios Verdes and Tlalpexco show a great progress, construction is nearly finished. To complete the alignments the first cabins were attached to the rope at station Tlalpexco and are ready for testing. Parallel, the future Cablebús staff members receive training on system specifications, health and safety procedures and daily operation of the installation for a maximum of safety, service and quality.

Construction started in September 2020 and is in full swing. By 2021, passengers will enjoy a safe, reliable and fast ropeway ride. This innovative and environmentally friendly mode of transport guarantees maximum safety and comfort.

The ropeway generation D-Line from Doppelmayr stands for top ropeway technology, a maximum of passenger comfort, quiet operation as well as a simple and time-saving maintenance. The modern OMEGA V cabin provides enough space for 10 passengers.

The cable car ensures sustainable mobility for all! This new means of transportation will carry people who live in the northern district of Cuautepec on a direct route to one of the city’s major transport hubs, Indios Verdes.

• Línea 1:9.22 km,
• 6 stations,
• 62 towers,
• 377 cabins,
• 10 people per cabin and up to 4000 pphpd (people per hour per direction).
• Rapid & direct link between Cuautepec & Indios Verdes.
• Travel time reduction more than 1 hour per commute

Efficient, reliable and focused: These are the values Doppelmayr/Garaventa displays at the construction site for the Cablebús Línea 1 in Mexico City. Indios Verdes, the largest traffic hub of the Cablebús Línea 1, will soon be ready to start operations. The towers between the stations Indios Verdes and La Pastora have already been installed. Ideal for a dense urban environment, they have a small physical footprint. Next to Tlalpexco station, which is an integrated part of an urban upgrade program, a public soccer field is also nearly completed.

Doppelmayr/Garaventa’s lean logistic management guarantees short construction times. The implementation of the cable car system and its mostly steel components (towers, station equipment, station drives, sheave assemblies and the rope) is being handled fast and efficiently on site.

A highlight is the rope of the Cablebús urban ropeway with a total length of 9,2 km, providing a comfortable and smooth ride.

A single rope paves the way towards ultra-safe and reliable mobility on the next level. Bridges, tunnels and streets are left behind with the steel rope directly connecting towers and stations, enabling modern autonomous transport through the city. To haul the rope to the track, a team of specialists and high qualified professionals worked efficiently together. The “rope-experts” know when it´s time to use a drone or other innovative tools to connect towers and stations into a unified working system, all under the premise of maximum safety and reliability.
