About

Built as public transit rather than a tourist ride, Line J still delivers one of the better views in the city for the price of a single metro fare, climbing straight up the hillside over the rooftops of San Javier towards Vallejuelos. Locals use it every day to reach neighbourhoods a bus could never manage on these gradients, and riding it end to end is a genuine look at how the cable car system actually changed how this part of the city moves. Tap in with a Civica card at San Javier metro station, no separate ticket needed.
