The Mexico-Toluca Intercity Train (TIMT) has had a successful initial operation period, transporting up to 66,000 passengers daily in its first two weeks, according to the federal transport regulatory agency, ARTF. The train serviced 850,000 users between February 2 and 17, 2023, with peak ridership occurring on February 15. The rise in daily usage illustrates the demand for efficient public transport options connecting major urban centers in Mexico.

Despite its success, the train faced initial challenges with its payment system, leading to an influx of support personnel from the National Infrastructure Fund (Fonadin) and the National Bank of Public Works and Services (Banobras) to assist in resolving these issues. The system's malfunctions were promptly addressed, which has likely contributed to the increasing number of daily users. Ensuring a smooth payment process is essential for maintaining ridership levels and user satisfaction in the long term.

This intercity train aims to alleviate traffic congestion and provide a faster mode of travel between Mexico City and Toluca. The successful operation and growing popularity of the TIMT underscore the potential for enhanced public transportation networks to significantly improve urban mobility in the region. The project is an essential step toward developing comprehensive transport solutions in Mexico's major metropolitan areas, promoting sustainable urban development and easing commutes for daily travelers.
