Universidad Autonoma de Nuevo Leon is considered a large university since it comprises over 200,000 students and employees, the third highest enrollment in the country. This makes UANL campuses landmarks of the Monterrey metropolitan area.
As a result, UANL implemented a connectivity strategy through the public transportation that allows interconnectivity between the campuses in the metropolitan area and the different parts of the city. The objective is to make transportation easier for students, professors, and staff to help reduce car use. For instance, the Metro Line 2 of the Metrorrey Public Transportation System connects the Main, Health Sciences, and Agricultural Sciences campuses.
The Health Sciences and Agricultural Sciences campuses have access to the TigreBus university transportation system. Since the metro is not immediately close to the facilities, the TigreBus connects the campuses with the nearest metro station, giving students a safe and free transfer.
The Metrorrey Public Transportation System operates entirely with bioenergy produced through biogas (methane) from sanitary landfills, which is provided by Bioenergia de Nuevo Leon (BENLESA). With this, over 500,000 passengers can travel at a low cost as the state helps mitigate greenhouse gases.
Additionally, the campuses in the metropolitan area of Monterrey are connected to many parts of the city through the different public transportation routes that offer special fares to students with their UANL ID. This is part of the Tarjeta Feria Program by Enlaces Inteligentes and the State Transportation Agency.
Students can easily check or refill their ID balance at the six Tarjeta Feria modules located in the Main, Agricultural Sciences, Health Sciences, and Mederos campuses.
The list below shows the extensive coverage of the state’s public transportation system that efficiently connects UANL campuses to many parts of the city.
