Overview
- A dense cloud of smoke filled Tasqueña station after a metallic object fell onto the tracks and caused a short circuit, prompting a preventive evacuation of passengers on Monday.
- Metro staff used chemical extinguisher powder on a damaged train tire and moved the convoy to the maneuvers area before sending it to the workshop for a full inspection.
- Officials reported no injuries and said Line 2 service resumed after more than half an hour of slow running while tracks were cleaned and checked.
- Social media videos showed scenes of panic and passengers reported an explosion-like sound, and an internal record reported that motorized train 0582/0583 had shown earlier faults.
- Metro authorities warned riders to secure metal items such as umbrellas during the rainy season because dropped objects can contact the guide bar and cause electrical faults that disrupt high-ridership lines.
