Forward Progress in Guadalajara

Moving into Guadalajara, CTS-Mexico and EMBARQ work to promote sustainable transport.

Tuesday, July 15, 2008 | Guadalajara, Mexico

Building off its success in Mexico City, CTS-Mexico has opened a branch office in Guadalajara, the second largest city in Mexico. The office is supporting the city’s Macrobus project, a 16-kilometer bus rapid transit line on Calzada Independencia, one of the most important arteries in the city.  The new line, scheduled to open in early 2009, is expected to move 130,000 to 170,000 passengers per day, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 36,000 tons per year.  Already the city has broken ground on the corridor, purchased new buses, and negotiated with the operators who will be running the system.
