Metro Restores Line A After Flooding as It Prepares Special Marathon Hours and Large Security Deployment

A coordinated repair and contingency operation aims to return trains to normal service and reduce disruption during upcoming high‑demand days.

Overview

  • Heavy rains forced the partial suspension of Line A between Guelatao and La Paz, triggered a marcha de seguridad that slowed trains on multiple routes, and prompted RTP surface buses to carry affected passengers.
  • Metro crews used pumping and desazolve work to clear water from the tracks and technicians confirmed the full restoration of Line A service after those repairs.
  • Officials kept speed‑reduction protocols in place while they inspected affected track sections and warned that slower intervals may persist until conditions are fully verified.
  • The Metro will run a special early schedule for the Maratón de la Ciudad de México with Lines 1, 2, 3 and 9 opening at 05:00 and some station accesses opening earlier to ease flows.
  • For the Aug. 31 return to school the system ordered 5,800 SSC personnel, planned dosificación and encauzamiento at busy stations, and will send empty trains to high‑demand points while urging users to carry recharged Tarjeta de Movilidad Integrada and follow boarding rules.
