Three unfinished stations on Chalco-Santa Martha trolleybus line are built
The Chalco-Santa Martha trolleybus line has three newly completed stations: Teotongo, La Virgen and Xico.
The line runs between Santa Martha in Mexico City’s Iztapalapa district and Chalco in the State of Mexico.
It began operating on May 18, 2025, with a reduced service because the three stations were unfinished.
The line currently serves 12 stations, while the full route is planned to have 15.
Civil construction is now complete, including station platforms and pedestrian bridges, but technical and operational work remains.
Officials have not announced when the three stations will open.
Once they are ready, the line can operate with all 15 stations.
