How many lines does the Mexico City subway have?

Mexico City has the infrastructure to travel by car, bicycle, bus, helicopter, whatever you want. But one of the best options to travel around the city is undoubtedly the subway.

In 1969 the subway was inaugurated in Mexico City. The first route was to the east of the city from Zaragoza to Chapultepec downtown. It was one of the most efficient and cleanest options offered by the city. With the passing of time and the needs of the population, the metro grew to what we know today. Here we review how many routes it has and where they pass through.

The Mexico City metro has 12 lines, each with a distinctive number, letter, and color. Lines 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and B are formed by pneumatic rolling trains and rail rolling trains on lines A and 12.

Each color is related to the first station on the line or the last one, either by the meaning of the station name or to some event that happened at the station site or some monument near the station.

The colors:

Line 1: Mexican Pink
Line 2: Blue
Line 3: Olive Green
Line 4: Cyan
Line 5: Yellow
Line 6: Red
