Users of Mexico City's Metro Line 2 are comparing their daily commute to the horror video game 'Silent Hill' as they navigate through dark, dusty corridors and exposed walls. The renovation works, which began in February, have been accelerated ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, leading to user complaints. Passengers report difficulty breathing, poor lighting, confusing signage, and constant route changes. One user noted, 'I feel like I'm in Silent Hill.' Others describe the atmosphere as 'gloomy' or compare it to the internet 'backrooms' phenomenon. While city authorities emphasize the need for improvements, many feel the work has been rushed.
