Mexico City Metro Line 1 Orange Train on Viaducto

An orange train on Mexico City Metro Line 1 travels alongside the Viaducto elevated highway. Opened in 1969, the Mexico City Metro is one of the largest subway systems in the world, serving millions of passengers daily. The rubber-tired trains, originally designed for the city's challenging seismic conditions, navigate both underground tunnels and elevated tracks. This section of Line 1, running adjacent to a major traffic artery, highlights the Metro's crucial role in the city's transportation network and its integration into the urban fabric.
