Alstom shipped the first Metropolis trainset for Guadalajara metro Line 3 from its factory of Santa Perpetua (Barcelona, Spain). This first train will arrive in Mexico by the end of November and will be followed by 17 other trains.
Made up of three coaches each, these Metropolis metro trains are equipped with air conditioning, video surveillance and passenger information systems. They also offer improved access for disabled people.
As part of the contract signed in December 2014, Alstom is currently supplying to Secretaria de Comunicaciones y Transportes (SCT) the electro-mechanical systems for Guadalajara metro Line 3, including 18 Metropolis trains. Alstom will also supply a state-of-the-art CBTC control system.
Line 3 is operated by the Sistema de Tren Electrico Urbano (SITEUR) and is 20.9 km long. The metro will run along Zapopan, Guadalajara and Tlaquepaque and will transport around 230,000 passengers daily.
