SEATTLE - Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said on Thursday that his successor, Claudia Sheinbaum, will expand the country's passenger rail system to facilitate travel from Mexico City to cities bordering the United States, as well as connecting the capital to other large cities such as Guadalajara.
In a press conference on July 10, Sheinbaum revealed plans to build three new passenger lines, including one from Mexico City to Nuevo Laredo, which borders with the American city of Laredo. The line will have an extension of about 680 miles, approximately costing $22 billion.
