built 655 days ago
The total investment for the new mass transit corridor serving Mexico City (DF) will come to nearly USD 93.4 million. The line, which will run east-west for 17.2km along the Eje 4 Sur road, will have 35 stations and see the transport of some 16 million passengers a year. It will connect with Metrobus' existing north-south Insurgentes corridor, as well as with the DF's metro system on lines 1 through 4, 7 and 8. DF mayor Marcelo Ebrard plans to install 10 Metrobus lines by the end of his administration in 2012.

In 1524 the rebuilt city served as the capital of the viceroyalty of New Spain and the political and cultural centre of Mexico. The importance of the city was such that the Captaincy General of Guatemala, Yucatán, Cuba, Florida, and the Philippines were administered from it. This colonial period culminated with the construction of the baroque Metropolitan Cathedral and the Basilica of Guadalupe.
