Previous proposals
In the 2000s, authorities proposed extending the system to a length of 242 kilometres (150 mi),[25] in order to reduce Mexico City's heavy road traffic congestion and air pollution. In most cases the system would follow existing rail lines, with potential grade separations similar to the ones done on the initial segment.
In December 2006,
Neither line was ever built.See also
