SIT Optibús (officially Sistema Integrado de Transporte Optibús) is a

Transmilenio, the Guatemala City Transmetro, and the Monterrey
Transmetro.

One of the articulated buses of the León Optibús system, with the system logo. Note the high-level exit doors on the left side of the bus.

León is one of the few cities in Mexico that has a modern, municipally operated bus transit system and utilizes prepaid farecards (known as Pagobús), as opposed to the traditional Mexican pesero system of individual bus owner-operators collecting cash fares. The prepaid farecard system was put in place about four years before the Optibús system.
