I’ve been getting around Guadalajara, Mexico on my current vacation in a lot of ways including the light rail system (tren ligero). People here definitely use it, too. It’s wonderful to see.
Overall I like the transit system, but I wish the system was more comprehensive and had a heavy rail metro to more efficiently move large groups of riders around.
Guadalajara is the Mexican Republic’s second largest city and has a regional population of several million. Yet the transit system is probably adequate for a much smaller city.
In some ways Guadalajara’s transit system is like my hometown’s - San Diego, California. Although few people use it in comparison, it is simply too small to service the 3.1 million inhabitants of San Diego County.
Alas, the transit overlords in San Diego continue to balk at any meaningful expansion of its system, especially rail. Until I’m proved wrong, looks like freeway expansion/ widening is the only game in town.
