Line 2 of the Guadalajara Urban Electric Train System is the second line built to optimise public transport by urban rail. It was constructed between January 1992 and June 1994. Its building cost was much higher than that of Line 1 because there was no existing infrastructure as was the case during Line 1's construction, and also because it involved the modification of drainage collectors in order to build new underground infrastructure.[2]
