About Buenavista

Buenavista is Mexico City's main intercity railway terminal and the headquarters of Ferromex passenger operations, located in the Cuauhtémoc borough of the capital. The station serves as the departure point for the Ferrocarril Suburbano suburban rail service connecting Mexico City with Cuautitlán, as well as the historic Tequila Express tourist train. Though Mexico's long-distance passenger rail network was largely dismantled in the 1990s, Buenavista remains operationally active and is central to plans for reviving intercity rail in the country.
