A centro de transferencia modal (English: Modal Transfer Center; abbreviated as CETRAM), is a type of transport hub found mainly in Mexico City. Locally known as paraderos (English: bus or rail terminal stops), these intermodal passenger transport stations allow commuters to transfer between different modes of public transit, generally between rail and bus systems. In Mexico City, their operations are supervised by Organismo Regulador de Transporte (ORT). Since 14 December 2010, the hubs became part of a decentralized organization. Out of the 40 operative CETRAMs existing in the city, 33 are found adjacent to Mexico City Metro stations.[2]
Outside the city, they are also found in Guadalajara, Jalisco, and in the State of Mexico, where they are known as estación de tranferencia modal (English: Modal Transfer Station; abbreviated as ETRAM).
