On Tuesday, March 18, several lines of the Mexico City Metro experienced delays and operational issues. Line A faced a lack of trains in both directions, causing frustration among users. Line 6 also reported delays, particularly at the Instituto del Petróleo station, where passengers had to wait longer than usual.
As for line 9 heading to Tacubaya, there was a high influx of users due to a shortage of available trains, which led passengers to express their dissatisfaction with the situation. Line 3 was also affected, as trains were making prolonged stops at each station, causing significant delays.
In light of this situation, the Collective Transportation System (STC) Metro responded that measures were being taken to expedite train circulation and departures from terminals, aiming to improve passenger flow. Despite this, delays persisted on several key lines, causing dissatisfaction among users.
Additionally, passengers were advised to take precautions when boarding the train and to allow the doors to close, as well as to exit the carriage before entering, to facilitate the flow of people in the stations. Despite the Metro's efforts to normalize the situation, some users pointed out that wait times were still longer than usual on various lines.
Amidst these difficulties, both on social media and in stations, users expressed their concerns about delays and deficiencies in service. Although the Metro was working on resolving operational issues, the situation remained complicated for many passengers who depend on this transportation system in Mexico City.
