Awaiting operator and domain-expert review; publication of this revision implies neither.

src-0014b1107438c74dCarries the impact figures at sentence level: 'El Cablebus logro disminuir los tiempos de traslado de las personas usuarias casi en un 45%' ('Cablebus cut users' travel times by almost 45%'), and 'Se duplicaron las oportunidades de empleo, salud, educacion, abastecimiento y esparcimiento' reachable in under an hour, tripled in some cases. Also estimates 18,569 t CO2e avoided from 2021 to December 2023. Method: literature review of 21 papers, 4 interviews in La Paz-El Alto, Bogota and Medellin, 9 interviews with Cablebus actors, with the city mobility ministry SEMOVI taking part. No control group, and the implementing agency was a participant, so this is a lessons-learned study rather than an arm's-length audit.
src-9c01369d31d84327'el costo operativo del Cablebus (el promedio de las lineas 1 y 2) es de 8.73 pesos por pasajero' ('the operating cost of Cablebus, averaging lines 1 and 2, is 8.73 pesos per passenger'), against 11.5 for Metrobus, 15.3 for the Metro and 17.7 for RTP. Also: 'Las lineas 1 y 2 del Cablebus ... transportaron a mas de 40 millones de pasajeros en 2022.'
src-d5f6e33ed5773d63STE figures for calendar 2025: Line 2 'movilizo a 22.9 millones de personas', Line 1 'traslado a 19.3 millones de pasajeros', Line 3 'fue utilizada por un total de 5.5 millones de personas' (22.9M / 19.3M / 5.5M, 47.7M combined). Strongest recent confirmation that all three lines are running.
src-7ea671bdf4bec4ca'La empresa encargada de construir la segunda linea del medio de transporte es Leitner Spa' ('the company charged with building the second line is Leitner Spa'), contracted directly rather than by tender, with Alfa Proveedores and Leitner Ropeways Mexico; 'La Linea 2 tuvo una inversion de 3,168 millones de pesos'. The city government's own inauguration release gives 3,183 million pesos; the discrepancy is left standing rather than averaged.
src-676bb56fc634a5d6Counterweight to the operator account: 'la espera puede demorar hasta sesenta minutos en las horas pico' at Xalpa station ('the wait can take up to sixty minutes at peak hours'), nicknamed 'el Pantitlan del Cablebus'; the works ministry documented seven cabin stoppages between 8 August and 21 November 2021, mostly power supply and motor control faults; passengers were stranded aloft during the 7.1 earthquake of 7 September 2021. Leitner is contracted to spend 159.7 million pesos a year on maintenance in the first year of operation.
src-7d5f78c42f9dd9c6Line 1: 'El 11 de julio de 2021, fue inaugurado el troncal Indios Verdes — Cuautepec', 9.2 km, 6 stations, 377 cabins, 33 min 20 s end to end, fare MXN 7.00; first section opened 4 March 2021. The companion article on Line 3 gives 24 September 2024, 5.42 km, 6 stations, 180 cabins, Miguel Hidalgo and Alvaro Obregon, connecting the four sections of Chapultepec, with a five-station extension into the upper Alvaro Obregon neighbourhoods only proposed. Used as corroboration because the operator site ste.cdmx.gob.mx returns 503 to automated requests.
src-d763499565b507e5Guinness World Records certified Line 2 (10.55 km) as the world's longest urban cable car line, August 2021; also reported by Forbes Mexico. Attributed to Guinness rather than asserted by the atlas, and the record is a moving target: the planned 15.2 km Line 5 is promoted as its successor.
src-23ef0c5b5f0af33cEach of the three lines closes for roughly two weeks a year for its annual inspection, staggered from 13 July, with free RTP replacement buses; El Universal reported riders saying they were not told in advance and paid more to travel. Line 3 also lost power in February 2026 and ran on a provisional service for four hours after an electrical fault on 28 May 2026 (La Jornada).
