Marcelo Ebrard signed two agreements on cooperation in Guerrero, one of them for the construction of the first line of service from transport and other related social programs.
Oaxaca and Mexico .- The city of Oaxaca have a Metrobus service more efficient than operating in the Federal District, because it will remain the pattern of success in Curitiba, Brazil, "which is considered a paradigmatic city urban development and public transportation," said the mayor of the capital city of Oaxaca, the Alliance Luis Ugartechea.
Meanwhile, Marcelo Ebrard, taking advantage of his visit to Guerrero for the inauguration as governor Angel Aguirre Rivero, sign two cooperation agreements, one for the construction of the first line of Metrobus, the other commitment that mark is related with some social programs similar to those applied by the Govern-ment capital.
Ugartechea said the model proposed for Oaxaca Metrobus will be new, since it will allow agile political negotiations with carriers, to be invited to participate as shareholders. 
"We have seen in the Federal District, in Leon, Guanajuato, Bogota and Curitiba, where progress has been made in an innovative public transport project," he said. In the case of Oaxaca, he added, the construction plan is a large scale, as it will have nine main routes and have a complete reversal of 400 million pesos. The first provides that cover 10 kilometers.
The mayor announced that the first phase will begin later this year, "we have discussed with the governor Gabino Cue and is willing to seek financing through a loan of 63 million pesos.
"This credit would no debt and would pay in the same administration," he said.
The other option is that resources are grounded by the National Bank of Works (Banobras) or the National Infrastructure Fund (Fonadi).
Ugartechea assumes that innovation Metrobus with other schemes in the world even compared with operating in the Federal District, will emerge from the financing schemes and collection of revenues used for the case of Oaxaca, who "would be more daring. Debt is not bad as long as you are prompted to grow. " Optimize
funds
The mayor of the city of Oaxaca, Luis Ugartechea, said the debt problem is that the project which will use the money does not imply a future investment or double spending to the new government. "We are going to optimize the required funds, not to make a proper use of non-profit loan repayments to future generation."
