The Puebla government reaffirmed on Thursday, July 2, 2026, that the Cablebús urban cable car system is progressing with openness, dialogue, and coordination with local communities. This statement came after Mexico City’s President Claudia Sheinbaum highlighted the importance of listening to citizens in infrastructure projects during her morning press conference.

Sheinbaum, who was asked about the Cablebús initiative led by Puebla Governor Alejandro Armenta, emphasized that maintaining communication with all involved sectors is the responsibility of the state government. She recalled her own experience coordinating the construction of Mexico City’s Second Level Periférico highway under President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s administration, where she personally participated in around 400 community assemblies to address concerns and foster dialogue.

“When the cable car was built here, there were also various problems that were addressed little by little. The important thing is dialogue,” Sheinbaum said, underscoring the value of citizen participation in shaping public works.

Later on Thursday, José Luis García Parra, Puebla’s Chief of Staff, echoed the president’s remarks on his X account, stressing that the Cablebús project continues with responsibility and community engagement. “As President Claudia Sheinbaum expressed, listening to citizens is fundamental in these types of projects. In Puebla, with Alejandro Armenta, we keep working with openness and coordination so this work meets families’ needs,” he wrote.

This declaration comes amid ongoing socialization efforts and preliminary studies before construction begins. The state government has positioned the Cablebús as a flagship mobility project, promising a safer, more sustainable, and efficient transport option for thousands of Puebla residents.

For migrants and urban dwellers alike, the Cablebús represents more than just infrastructure—it’s a step toward inclusive, accessible public transit that responds to community voices and environmental concerns. As Puebla moves forward, the emphasis on dialogue and citizen involvement could serve as a model for equitable urban development in Mexico.
