Overview
- The STC confirmed it removed a Line 3 train for inspection, resulting in slow service and a request that riders follow staff instructions and allow doors to close.
- Passengers reported waits of 15 to 40 minutes, crowded platforms at stations such as Etiopía/Plaza de la Transparencia and Balderas, and evacuations including at Centro Médico.
- Some evacuees said they were returned to the same train amid limited information, adding to confusion during the morning rush.
- Separately, service was temporarily suspended at Hidalgo to rescue a person on the tracks; local reports said a 25-year-old woman died, and authorities later resumed full service.
- The disruption followed a Line A failure the previous day, as the Metro union raises budget concerns and warns of a potential work stoppage.
