Overview
- The temporary shutdown covers all Line 2 Etapa 1A stations from Evitamiento to Mercado Santa Anita and began on November 18.
- MLL2 and the ATU say the halt is a safety measure unrelated to operations, and they have not provided technical details on the issue.
- About 50,000 daily riders use this first underground segment, with Evitamiento handling roughly 40% of the flow since its December 2023 opening.
- To ease the impact, ATU is adding Line 1 capacity with 15 extra weekday off-peak departures for a total of 510 daily trips and 40 additional Saturday trips from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m.
- In a separate event, a trailer stranded near Plaza Dos de Mayo blocked the Metropolitano busway, causing roughly 30-minute delays on services A, C and X5 and prompting extended express operations to about 9:45 p.m.
