Operators
Line 1 has four operators.[ 15]
Corredor Insurgentes, SA de CV (CISA)[ 16]
Vanguardia y Cambio, SA de CV (VYC)
Rey Cuauhtémoc, SA de CV (RECSA)
Red de Transporte de Pasajeros del Distrito Federal (RTP)
Ridership
As of April 2018, the Metrobus Line 1 moves an average of 600,000 commuters daily. This has led to a saturation of the line, thus articulated buses are being substituted for bi-articulated buses.[ 1]
Incidents
According to the director of CISA, there are between one and four minor accidents per week in Line 1.[ 17]
In February 2018, a cyclist was hit by a bus when he invaded the Metrobús' right-of-way near Perisur . The cyclist died immediately after the incident.[ 18]
