Chetumal, Quintana Roo — The modernization of public transportation in Chetumal advances with new steps. During the broadcast of La Voz del Pueblo, Governor Mara Lezama announced the start of the Pilot Route “Calzada Veracruz,” the third phase of the comprehensive project Tu Ruta Chetumal, which will begin operations on Monday, December 15. The service will be completely free from December 15 to 21, and starting Monday, December 22, it will have a general fare of 15 pesos.

According to the Institute of Mobility of the State of Quintana Roo (IMOVEQROO), this route will directly benefit 35,656 inhabitants, strengthening mobility for 29 neighborhoods, 45 schools, more than 12,900 homes, and 2,108 businesses. With this, the state capital adds a new key transportation corridor to improve daily commutes.

Strategic Connectivity in High-Traffic Points

The “Calzada Veracruz” Route was designed to link residential, educational, sports, and commercial areas. The route considers eight notable points:

• Polideportivo de Proterritorio (starting and ending point)
• Mercado Lázaro Cárdenas
• Campo Hundido
• Secundaria Federal David Alfaro Siqueiros
• Parque Aarón Merino
• Primaria Lázaro Cárdenas
• Escuela Jesús Cetina Salazar
• Parque Caimanes

The service will operate from Monday to Sunday, from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., with four units on weekdays and three units during weekends, guaranteeing transportation available throughout the day for students, workers, and families.

Historic Project for Mobility in Quintana Roo

With the implementation of this new route, the Tu Ruta Chetumal program continues advancing as part of the New Agreement for the Well-being and Development of Quintana Roo, considered the most ambitious mobility plan in the state’s history. The strategy contemplates the development of a complete network of 10 urban routes, whose consolidation is projected for June 2026.

This effort seeks to modernize, organize, and dignify the public transportation of the capital, promoting more efficient, safe, and accessible mobility for all.
