The Mexico City trolleybus system (Spanish: Red de Trolebuses de la Ciudad de México) serves Mexico City, the capital city of Mexico, and is operated by Servicio de Transportes Eléctricos.
The system opened on 9 March 1951.[2][3] As of mid-2014, the system had 8 lines and the operable fleet included around 360 trolleybuses.[4] The total number of trolleybuses scheduled in service in peak periods was 290 in late 2012,[5] but was 264 in mid-2014.[4] Until 2019, the lines were identified with the following letters: A, CP, D, G, I, K, LL and S.[4][5]
As of 2018, the fare is MXN $4.00 (€ 0.18, or US$ 0.21). The nine lines currently in operation are designated by numbers.[6]
