THE Mexican city of Guadalajara gained a third metro line on September 12, connecting the districts of Zapopan, Guadalajara, and Tlaquepaque.
The 21 km Line 3 route runs north-east to south-east across the city and has 18 stations: 13 on viaduct and five underground.
Alstom supplied 18 'Metropolis' EMUs and an automated signalling system in a contract worth €240million.
Around 230,000 passengers are expected to use the new line daily.
In the Bulgarian capital Sofia, the central section of new Line M3 opened on August 26.
