The government of the state of Puebla has announced plans to reactivate and expand the Puebla–Cholula–Atlixco train line. This transportation system will feature three main stations, with 23 stops planned along the route from Puebla to Cholula. Governor Alejandro Armenta Mier stated that the project will be developed through a public-private partnership scheme due to the need for extraordinary investments. 'I would like to push it forward because we know the potential that Atlixco has,' affirmed the governor, who also mentioned that if more resources become available, the route could be extended to the municipality of Izúcar de Matamoros. It is worth recalling that the reactivation of the Puebla–Cholula–Atlixco train will connect seven municipalities, including Cuautlancingo, San Pedro Cholula, San Andrés Cholula, San Jerónimo Tecuanipan, and Santa Isabel Cholula. This train was inaugurated on January 23, 2017, during the administration of former Governor Rafael Moreno Valle. The Secretary of Infrastructure for the state of Puebla, Manuel Contreras de los Santos, informed that the Puebla–Cholula–Atlixco train project is ongoing and is expected to benefit around 80,000 users. During a press conference, he explained that the initiative is currently in the execution phase, so the work plan will be presented shortly. Its construction involved an investment of 1,113 million pesos, exceeding the initial estimated budget of 800 million. However, the service recorded constant economic losses, leading to its suspension on December 31, 2021, during the government of Miguel Barbosa Huerta. Subsequently, in August 2023, the dismantling of the tracks began, along with the sale of the cars to the federal government for 198 million pesos, earmarked for the Interoceanic Train project.
