Arnulfo Aldaco discusses the mobility crisis of Avenida López Mateos on Canal 44 (Señal Informativa), one of Guadalajara’s main public affairs programs.
In the interview, he argues that congestion on López Mateos is not a short-term traffic issue but the result of decades of car-dependent urban expansion, fragmented planning, and institutional misalignment. He emphasizes the need to shift from moving vehicles to moving people, proposing high-capacity public transit—particularly light rail, as a more effective, equitable, and urban solution than elevated highways or road widening.
