The director of Metrorrey, Abraham Vargas, announced in July that assistance to public transport users would continue until December. Upon taking office, Governor Samuel García faced the situation of a transport system he described as a bomb, filled with unprofitable routes and permit holders unwilling to cooperate.
García emphasized the importance of improving public transport routes to serve vulnerable groups, achieving a significant increase in digital payment usage through the implementation of a project, rising from 20% to 70%. The governor pointed out that this change has allowed for better financial control and the reduction of problems associated with cash use in transport.
Support for users was provided through the Urbani app with a monthly deposit of 225 pesos; however, after the elections on June 2, some users reported the interruption of deposits. Regarding the public transport fleet, it has been renewed with the acquisition of 2,500 new buses, some electric and others low-emission, equipped with amenities such as air conditioning, internet, and universal access.
The government's goal is to have a renewed fleet for the 2026 World Cup, in addition to improving and expanding the Metro system in the state. García announced plans to expedite electronic payment and restore support for cards in 2025, once there is a budget available. The governor presented his Regional Report at the BBVA Stadium, highlighting the progress made and future goals for public transport in Nuevo León.
