In a significant development for public transport in Mendoza, the electric train system will extend its service to the city’s airport by October, allowing passengers to travel effortlessly from urban areas directly to the airport. This initiative is aimed at easing transportation for local residents as well as enhancing travel options for incoming tourists, particularly those arriving by air.

With the recent expansion of the Metrotranvía, which has been in operation for over a decade, Mendoza sets a pioneering example in Argentina by introducing a light rail system that connects urban transit to air travel. This development not only caters to the increasing number of local commuters who rely on the train for daily transport but also positions Mendoza as a hub for tourism, offering easy access to and from the airport.

As the project nears completion, officials are emphasizing the importance of optimizing the service to handle increasing ridership. By establishing this rail link, Mendoza aims to promote sustainable transport options while facilitating greater connectivity for both residents and visitors, paving the way for potential economic benefits linked to enhanced travel and tourism in the region.
