The rains recorded in Mexico City this Tuesday caused disruptions to the service of the Collective Transportation System Metro, where safety measures were implemented that resulted in delays and inconveniences for thousands of users. Through social media, the capital's Metro reported that the presence of precipitation forced the reduction of train speeds on several lines, while passengers reported long waits and stops at key stations. Rains force speed reduction. CDMX Metro detailed that due to rain in different parts of the city, the so-called 'safety march' was activated on Lines 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, B, and 12. This measure consists of reducing the speed of trains to prevent incidents on wet tracks and ensure a safe transfer. However, the decision generated discontent among users, who reported delays of up to 20 or 30 minutes, particularly on Line A and at stations with high traffic. On social media, some passengers questioned the delays, pointing out that trains remained stopped for several minutes without clear information about the progress of the service. The Metro director, Adrián Rubalcava, informed that the service began to normalize gradually after the unit was removed. In parallel, users spread videos on social media denouncing supposed sparks, explosions, and door failures on a train, which generated concern about safety. The body urged the population to take precautions and anticipate their trips due to the weather conditions. Line 3 failure worsens morning delays. In addition to the complications from the rain, there was an incident on Line 3, where a train broke down and had to be removed for inspection.
