An electric regional rail system being constructed in Mexico City. Also known as Valley of Mexico Suburban Rail System. Colloquially referred to as El Tren Suburbano or ZMVN.
The initial section is currently being built for a distance of 27 kilometers from the Mexico City's Buenavista station north to Cuautitlán and Huehuetoca, in the Estado de Mexico. This first section will cost 6.7 billion Mexican pesos (approx US$600 million) and is projected to carry 320,000 passengers daily.
Authorities hope to extend the system as far as it is practical to do so, in order to reduce Mexico City's heavy road traffic congestion and air pollution.
As of August 24th 2005, CAF (Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles, S.A.) obtained a 30 year concession to supply rolling stock, build and operate the Tren Suburbano.
