Tiger Bus
TigreBus
TigreBus is the safe and free public transportation system of the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León (UANL), created to facilitate the mobility of thousands of students, faculty, and university staff within the campuses and among the various university facilities located in the Monterrey Metropolitan Area (MMA). Its operation is one of the main institutional strategies to strengthen sustainable mobility, promoting public transportation alternatives that reduce dependence on private cars and cut down on the use of fossil fuel-powered vehicles.
This system addresses the need to offer an efficient, accessible, and environmentally responsible transportation service capable of helping to reduce traffic congestion and the pollutant emissions associated with the growing number of vehicles circulating in the city daily. Through the TigreBus, the UANL promotes a mobility model based on principles of sustainability, social inclusion, and community well-being, aligned with institutional policies of responsible development.
One of the main strengths of the TigreBus is that it is free, which represents significant financial support for the university community, particularly for thousands of students who need to travel daily between schools and university facilities. By eliminating economic barriers to transportation access, this system establishes itself as a tool for equity and social inclusion, ensuring equal opportunities and helping to reduce the costs associated with urban mobility.
In 2025, TigreBus provided just over 116,000 free ride
In the environmental sphere, the TigreBus represents a sustainable alternative that helps reduce the institution’s carbon footprint. By promoting the use of public transportation and reducing the number of private vehicles in circulation on and around university campuses, a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants is achieved, thereby strengthening institutional efforts aimed at mitigating the effects of climate change and improving air quality in the MMA.
On the social front, this system promotes safer, more accessible, and more efficient mobility conditions for the university community. In addition to facilitating travel between schools and academic spaces, the TigreBus fosters university integration, improves connectivity between campuses, and contributes to creating more orderly and functional urban environments.
In 2025, the UANL generated savings of nearly 60 million pesos for users through the TigreBus program
The positive results achieved by the TigreBus have made this system a regional benchmark in sustainable mobility, inspiring the development of public transportation schemes promoted by various municipalities in the metropolitan area. This is how the UANL’s experience demonstrates that it is possible to build more efficient, inclusive, and environmentally responsible mobility models capable of generating social, economic, and environmental benefits for the population.
As a result, TigreBus has established itself as one of the most important pillars of the UANL’s Sustainable Mobility Program, reaffirming the institution’s commitment to building a socially and environmentally responsible university, focused on the well-being of its community and the sustainable development of the region.
