Overview

Guadalajara is the second largest city of Mexico and the capital of the Mexican state of Jalisco. It has a population of 5,000,000 of inhabitants in conurbation with Zapopan, Tonala and Tlaquepaque. Two light-metro lines were inaugurated in the 1980s and 1990s.

Line 1, which runs mostly north-south, opened in September 1989. It is 15.5 Km (9.7 miles) long, with 19 stations in subway and 12 at grade. Line 2, which runs east-west, opened in July 1994. It is 8.5 Km (5.3 miles) long, with 10 stations all underground. Transfer between the lines is made at Juárez. In addition to names, each station is identified with a symbol (similar to the metro lines in Mexico City and Monterrey).

There is a BRT (bus rapid transit) line crossing the city of Guadalajara running north-south, which connects to the subway at San Juan de Dios station on line 2, downtown.
