The Government of Puebla announced today, Monday, June 22, 2026, an extension to the city\u2019s Cableb\u00fas system that would stretch its length to 14.58 kilometers, positioning it as the longest continuous urban cable car line in the world. This surpasses the current Guinness World Record held by Mexico City\u2019s Cableb\u00fas Line 2, which measures 10.6 kilometers.<\/p>\n
Jos\u00e9 Luis Garc\u00eda Parra, Puebla\u2019s state cabinet coordinator, shared that relocating one station to Mayorazgo adds 1.17 kilometers to the route, increasing the total from just over 13 kilometers to 14.58 kilometers. This expansion not only sets a new record but also signals a shift in scale for Puebla\u2019s public transportation, elevating it from a local project to a major urban mobility infrastructure with global relevance.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s how Puebla\u2019s Cableb\u00fas compares to other notable urban cable systems: <\/p>\n
– **Puebla (projected): 14.58 km**
\n Connects key hubs including Mayorazgo, CIS Angel\u00f3polis, Parque Ju\u00e1rez, Parque Ecol\u00f3gico, Xonaca, Parque Biblioteca, Amalucan, and the stadium area. <\/p>\n
– **Mexico City Cableb\u00fas Line 2: 10.6 km**
\n Currently one of the longest urban cable lines worldwide and the Guinness record holder until now. <\/p>\n
– **Mexico City Cableb\u00fas Line 1: 9.2 km**
\n Links Cuautepec with Indios Verdes, recognized as one of the longest urban cable systems at its launch. <\/p>\n
– **Medell\u00edn Metrocable Line K: ~2 km**
\n The first urban cable line integrated with a metro system in Latin America; Medell\u00edn\u2019s full network exceeds 14 km but is divided into separate lines. <\/p>\n
– **Paris C\u00e2ble C1: 4.5 km**
\n Europe\u2019s longest urban cable car, operational since 2025, connecting southeastern suburbs of Paris. <\/p>\n
A common comparison is made with La Paz, Bolivia\u2019s Mi Telef\u00e9rico, which boasts over 30 kilometers of cable lines. However, this is a network of multiple interconnected lines rather than a single continuous route. Puebla\u2019s projected 14.58-kilometer corridor would directly challenge existing records for the longest single urban cable car line.<\/p>\n
Beyond the record, this project represents a significant investment in sustainable, inclusive urban mobility. By linking major mobility hubs and diverse neighborhoods, the Cableb\u00fas in Puebla promises to enhance accessibility and reduce reliance on traditional road transport, aligning with broader goals of social equity and environmental responsibility.<\/p>\n
For migrants and urban dwellers alike, this development signals a growing commitment to innovative public transit solutions in Mexico\u2019s cities\u2014offering a glimpse of how infrastructure can reshape daily life and urban landscapes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
