Adrián Rubalcava, former mayor of Cuajimalpa and candidate for substitute senator, leads transition meetings with Guillermo Calderón, current director of one of the main means of transportation in Mexico City, to soon assume the direction of the Metro. Rubalcava has chaired at least two meetings with Calderón's management team, discussing the future challenges of the Metro.
According to close sources, Rubalcava already has a secured position as director of the Metro in the capital. He was initially offered a role in the federal security strategy but opted to remain in Mexico City due to his previous structure in the locality. Although his arrival at the Metro is expected in June, uncertainty surrounds his assumption of office, possibly between March and April.
The uncertainty about the precise timing of taking office is due to problems surrounding Metro Line 1, which has experienced significant delays for two years and faces both legal and construction issues. Clara Brugada's government seeks to regularize this situation so that Rubalcava can confront the challenges and future projects of the Metro clearly and effectively.
Rubalcava, who migrated from PRI to Morena under Claudia Sheinbaum's leadership, will continue his political career in Mexico City. The head of government has confirmed the inauguration of the Cuauhtémoc, Insurgentes, Sevilla, and Chapultepec stations for March, marking a milestone in the expansion and modernization of public transportation in the city.
