The Mexibús Line II is a bus rapid transit (BRT) line in the Mexibús system. It operates between La Quebrada in Cuautitlán Izcalli and Las Américas in Ecatepec de Morelos. It was the second line to be built and the third to be opened. It was inaugurated by the governor of the State of Mexico, Eruviel Ávila on 12 January 2015 with 43 stations.[1] It is 21.3 kilometers (13.2 mi) long. The line has two different types of services, and both include a service exclusively for women and children named Servicio Rosa (Pink Service). The line operates with 97 buses. On 8 October 2018, the Servicio Exprés was opened, going from Lechería to Ecatepec stations.[2]

Until 15 December 2020, the line provided a provisional route from Las Américas to Indios Verdes metro station and it was later replaced with Line IV.[3]
