Overview

  • STC Metro is running provisional trains only between Pantitlán and Santa Marta in both directions.
  • La Paz and Los Reyes stations remain closed indefinitely while electrical specialists work on the damaged catenary.
  • This marks the third suspension of service on Line A in under a week due to recurrent catenary failures driven by ground subsidence and severe weather.
  • The Metro has not provided an estimated reopening date but says it will share updates through its official channels.
  • Riders have voiced frustration on social media over the absence of RTP bus replacements during the shutdowns.
