JuárezBus
Opened 2013, JuárezBus (formerly ViveBús, then Ecobús, then BravoBús from 2020 to March 2022) consists of three bus rapid transit services that serves the city of Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua and the surrounding suburbs.
BRT-1
JuárezBus Corredor Troncal BRT-1 is a bus rapid transit service on a North-South alignment. It runs from Presidencia in the north by El Paso to Puerto Tarento in the south via Eje Vial Norte-Sur and Blvd Zaragoza, serving 44 stations. The service south of Independencia is currently suspended due to partial abandonment.
Corredor Troncal BRT-1 was opened in November 2013 as Corredor Troncal 1 Presidencia - Tierra Nueva, and the last extension to the line was to Puerto Tarento in July 2021. We do not have a date for when Eritrea opened. Corredor Troncal BRT-1 is owned by the State of Chihuahua and operated by Integradora de Transporte de Juárez.
BRT-2
JuárezBus Corredor Troncal BRT-2 is a bus rapid transit service on a Northwest-South alignment. It runs from Oro in the northwest to Aeropuerto in the south via Calle 16 de Septiembre, Av. Paseo Triunfo de la República, and Av. Tecnológico, serving 33 stations, of which two are served in a single direction only. We are unsure if the local service makes curbside stops west of Catedral and Ex Aduana like it did upon initial opening.
Corredor Troncal BRT-2 began pre-operative service in October 2022. The last expansion was the extension to Catedral and Ex-Aduana likely in May 2024, though we have no conclusive date. Corredor Troncal BRT-2 is owned by the State of Chihuahua.
BRT-3
JuárezBus Corredor Troncal BRT-3 is a bus rapid transit service on a Northwest-Southeast alignment. It runs from the junction with BRT-2 in the northwest to Francisco Villareal Torres in the southeast via Blvd Manuel Gómez Morín, serving 7 stations and through-operating along the BRT-2 corridor to Catedral and Ex-Aduana. It runs in dedicated median lanes except between Paseo Victoria and Francisco Villareal Torres.
Corredor Troncal BRT-3 likely began service in May 2024 at the same time as full service on BRT-2, but we do not have any conclusive dates. Corredor Troncal BRT-2 is owned by the State of Chihuahua.
