Mexico City Metro Line A is one of the twelvemetro lines operating inMexico City,Mexico. The line's color is purple. It was the ninth line to be opened.

The line was opened in 1983 and it runs from eastern Mexico City southeast into theState of Mexico. Line A has 10 stations and a length of 17.192 km (10.683 mi), out of which 14.893 km (9.254 mi) are for service. It was the second line to service the State of Mexico, after theCuatro Caminos station of theLine 2, opened in 1984.

Line A was inaugurated on August 12, 1991, byCarlos Salinas de Gortari,President of Mexico from 1988 to 1994,Manuel Camacho Solís,Head of the Federal District Department from 1988 to 1993, andIgnacio Pichardo Pagaza,Governor of the State of Mexico from 1989 to 1993.

Line A was conceived as afeeder line, thus, instead of using a number (which, in this case, it would have been 10 – Line 10), it used a letter in its denomination. The line was designed to connectMexico City to theState of Mexico. For this reason, until December 2013, it was necessary to pay another fare when commuting from Line A to Lines1,5 and9 atPantitlán station.^[3][4]

Another feeder line, also connecting the State of Mexico to Mexico City, would be inaugurated in 1999:Line B, also using a letter instead of a number to designate it.

A proposed extension of the line was presented in 2018 by theSistema de Transporte Colectivo. According to the plan, Line A would be expanded southbound towardsChalco in theState of Mexico. The stretch would have six new stations and a length of 13.19 km (8.20 mi).^[5]

Line A has had different types of rolling stock throughout the years.

• ConcarrilFM-86: 1991–present
• ConcarrilFM-95A: 1998–present
• CAFFE-07: 2010–present

Currently, out of the 390 trains in theMexico City Metro network, 17 are in service in Line A.^[6]
