MXThe expansion of Line 12 of the Mexico City Metro continues toward the Observatorio station, but the project to purchase 12 additional trains for this section remains stalled. According to the first quarterly progress report of the Metro Improvement Program 2026, submitted to the City Council of Mexico City, the acquisition of these 12 trains has made no progress. The report states that the project could proceed if funding is allocated, which has already been requested from the Finance Department. Technical specifications for the trains have been reviewed by the Rolling Stock Engineering Management. The 12 new trains, consisting of seven-car units with recent technology, are intended to serve the extended line from Tláhuac to Observatorio, benefiting residents of several neighborhoods. The design requires a minimum lifespan of 30 years under service conditions and must operate in both tunnels and open environments, covering approximately 150,000 kilometers annually per train.
