The Mexican government is boldly ordering rail operators to offer passenger service during their normal daily freight runs. It’s an initiative that promises to transform public transport and increase mobility for citizens.
🌱 This measure, focused on more economical and less polluting mobility, demonstrates a strong desire to promote sustainable transport alternatives. The planned electrification of the lanes is in line with a significant reduction in carbon footprint, a step forward for Mexico in the fight against climate change.
🔍 However, the implications for freight operations remain to be clarified. Analysts remain cautious about the potential impact on the freight sector, which plays a crucial role in the Mexican economy.
It will be interesting to see how operators like CPKC and Ferromex adapt to this change and maintain the balance between freight and passenger services.
