Viral Video Shows Youth Riding Between Mexico City Metro Cars as Delays Fuel Crowding

Officials warn the maneuver is illegal under Article 230.

Overview

  • A TikTok clip from the account @metro_viral shows a young person traveling in the restricted coupling between Metro cars in Mexico City.
  • The person appears to be a student and the post claims the risky ride was to reach school on time, a detail not officially confirmed.
  • Outages, maintenance slowdowns and recent heavy rains that triggered SGIRPC alerts have contributed to crowded platforms and delays across several lines.
  • The Reglamento de la Ley de Movilidad (Article 230) forbids entering restricted areas such as the space between wagons, with potential legal consequences.
  • Reports state the STC has reinforced surveillance following the video, though no identification, sanction or enforcement outcome in this case has been announced.
