context_page_description: The Suburban Railway of the Valley of Mexico Metropolitan Area is an electric suburban rail system in Mexico City. It is also known as Valley of Mexico Suburban Rail System and colloquially referred to as El Tren Suburbano or Ferrocarril Suburbano. It is designed to complement the extensive Mexico City metro system, Latin America's largest and busiest urban rail network.
  The railway has 1 operative line with a length of 27 km with 7 stations, located in Cuauhtémoc and Azcapotzalco in Mexico City, and Tlalnepantla, Tultitlán and Cuautitlán, in the State of Mexico. There are proposed expansions with a total length of 242 kilometres of rail system.
context_section_description: Authorities proposed to expand the system as far as it is practical to do so (the current long-range plan is for 242 kilometers of lines), in order to reduce Mexico City's heavy road traffic congestion and air pollution. In most cases the system would follow existing rail lines; however, grade separations similar to the ones done on the initial segment may be necessary.
  In December 2006, SCT announced that approval has been given for the 19.3 kilometres (12.0 mi) System 2, extending to Jardines de Morelos and Martín Carrera, and System 3 of an additional 12.8 km to Chalco and La Paz.
  As of June 2020 The Suburban train still only goes from Buenavista to Cuautitlán.
