The development of capitalism cannot be explained without the evolution of transportation and vice versa. However, governance in underdeveloped countries such as Mexico faces a permanent economic and urban crisis, which limits the scope of public policies for urban transport. The origin and evolution of the mexibus urban transport system in the State of Mexico in the last decade responds to the growing need for urban mobility that more than 10 million people living in the urbanized municipalities of the Metropolitan Zone of Mexico City (ZMCM) face on a daily basis. Almost a decade after the start of the first line of the Rapid Transit Bus, it is convenient to evaluate the economic and social impact that this transport has had among the inhabitants of the Valley of Mexico.
