The initial line covers a route measuring from Mexico City's Buenavista Station north to Cuautitlán, in the State of Mexico. This initial section, which began commercial service on June 2, 2008 (after three weeks of fare-free trial operation), cost US$706 million to build, with the Mexican Federal Government contributing 55% of this investment. The inaugural demonstration trip of the service from Buenavista to Lechería station and back again was made by the President of Mexico, Felipe Calderon Hinojosa, and the Governor of the State of Mexico
