The Mexico City Metrobús Line 5 is a bus rapid transit line in the Mexico City Metrobus. It operates between Río de los Remedios in the boroughs of Gustavo A. Madero, in Mexico City's northern limit with the municipality of Ecatepec de Morelos in the State of Mexico, to Preparatoria 1 in Xochimilco.

Line 5 has a total of 51 stations and a length of 28.5 kilometers,[2] which runs from northeastern to eastern Mexico City.[1]

History and construction[edit]

Construction of Line 5 started on March 26, 2013 and it was inaugurated on November 5, 2013 by Miguel Ángel Mancera, then-Head of Government of the Federal District.[3][4] The service ran from Río de los Remedios to San Lázaro.

Expansion works for Line 5 started in August 2017. It was planned to extend the line until Preparatoria 1, although originally intended to be extended to Glorieta de Vaqueritos in the limits of Tlalpan and Xochimilco boroughs), in southeastern Mexico City. The first extension added 26 stations along 16 kilometers. The second extension added 4 kilometers and 7 stations to the line,[5] serving the Coyoacán, Tlalpan, and Xochimilco boroughs.[6][7]
