The state government of Puebla announced that the construction of the Cableb\u00fas, a cable-based mobility system, will begin no later than July 2026, but only once all necessary permits and licenses are in place. Jos\u00e9 Luis Garc\u00eda Parra, the state government\u2019s cabinet coordinator, shared this update during the morning press conference on Monday, June 1, 2026.<\/p>\n
Key points from Garc\u00eda Parra\u2019s announcement include:<\/p>\n
– The bidding process for the Cableb\u00fas project has been completed, and the government is currently awaiting official permits to proceed.
\n– The project aims to provide a fast and affordable transportation option for hundreds of Puebla residents, with special incentives planned for people with disabilities, seniors, and students.
\n– Garc\u00eda Parra emphasized that construction will not start until all authorizations are secured, expected by late June or July.
\n– A recent regulatory modification was achieved to reduce environmental impact, including the careful handling of trees affected by the project. Fewer than 97 trees will be transplanted, and parks near Cableb\u00fas stations will be improved for public use.<\/p>\n
In addition to the Cableb\u00fas update, the government revealed plans for the \u201cTarjeta Ciudad,\u201d a single payment card that will allow users to pay fares across multiple transportation services:<\/p>\n
– The card will work for bike rentals, the four lines of the Red Urbana del Transporte Articulado (RUTA), and the upcoming Cableb\u00fas.
\n– A second phase will integrate public bus routes across Puebla.
\n– This year, the state will invest 100 million pesos to develop bike lanes connecting the city, ensuring bike stations are within 500 meters of various mobility options.<\/p>\n
Finally, Puebla\u2019s historic downtown will see a new transportation alternative as part of a broader urban mobility strategy. The state\u2019s Secretariat of Mobility and Transport is working on a plan that could introduce a trolleybus, light rail, or suburban train to serve the area. This initiative aims to cover 26 kilometers, including the downtown core and part of 11 Sur, where over 67,000 daily public transit users currently travel.<\/p>\n
For migrants and urban dwellers alike, these developments signal a push toward more inclusive, sustainable, and accessible transportation options in Puebla\u2019s evolving cityscape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
