The Government of Mexico and Secretariat of Communications and Transportation (SCT) is planning to revive the high-speed passenger train project connecting Mexico City and Querétaro. This project includes the development of a 210-kilometer long high-speed railway line. The line will carry 23,000 passengers a day at speeds up to 300 km/h, which will reduce the traveling time between cities as low as 58 minutes.

The project was postponed in 2015 by the previous government, but the authority is considering public-private partnership (PPP) for the project. Besides passengers, the authority is also planning to transport cargo through this line. The estimated investment for the project is MXP 50 billion (US$ 2.3 billion).
