- Notes
Operators
editLine 1 has four operators.[15]
- Corredor Insurgentes, SA de CV (CISA)[16]
- Vanguardia y Cambio, SA de CV (VYC)
- Rey Cuauhtémoc, SA de CV (RECSA)
- Red de Transporte de Pasajeros del Distrito Federal (RTP)
Ridership
editAs of April 2018, the Metrobus Line 1 moves an average of 600,000 commuters daily. This has led to a saturation of the line, thus articulated buses are being substituted for bi-articulated buses.[1]
Incidents
editAccording to the director of CISA, there are between one and four minor accidents per week in Line 1.[17]
In February 2018, a cyclist was hit by a bus when he invaded the Metrobús' right-of-way near Perisur. The cyclist died immediately after the incident.[18]
