Overview
- The Metro has run Line 2 in two separate circuits since work began May 29, keeping six central stations closed and saying full service will resume Thursday, June 4 at 05:00.
- On Monday a messenger cable on the Tren Ligero broke between Registro Federal and Textitlán, forcing passengers to disembark onto the tracks and suspending service for several hours while crews repaired the circuit.
- Officials deployed free RTP buses between Pino Suárez and Xola and trolebús runs from Estadio Azteca to Tasqueña as contingencies, but riders reported long queues, overcrowded buses and longer travel times on Lines 7, 8 and 9.
- On-site reporting documented heavy noise, dust, blocked passages and falling sales for station merchants as workers press accelerated renovations along Calzada de Tlalpan to meet the World Cup deadline.
- The incidents have drawn political criticism and put pressure on transit agencies to prove coordination and safety ahead of the June 11 World Cup kickoff, so continued monitoring of backups and repairs is now the priority.
