Commissioned by Konect1 to launch the Mexicable public transport system in Ecatepec, this mural – titled Valeria– is painted at Station #6 “Deportivo” in the seven-stop cable car line. Through her relaxed, curled-up posture, Valeria conveys a sense of safety and security – an important consideration in the development of the Mexicable, designed to provide a quick, safe, and accessible mode of transport for the municipality’s low-income workers, and for improving safety for the female commuters among them.
