Line 7 of the CDMX Metro advances slowly: Users report delays of 25 minutes

Users of Line 7 of the CDMX Metro are experiencing delays of up to 25 minutes on February 10 due to increased congestion and a train withdrawal for inspection.

On February 10, users of Line 7 of the CDMX Metro expressed frustrations as they faced significant delays, with reports indicating wait times of up to 25 minutes. Many commuters noted overcrowding at stations such as Polanco and Tacubaya, where passengers were left waiting for extended periods. User complaints highlighted the slow progress of trains heading towards Rosario, worsening the commuting experience for many.

The Metro de la Ciudad de México responded to the situation by informing the public that a train had been removed from service for inspection, which contributed to the delays. They assured riders that efforts were underway to expedite service, although the impact of the train’s absence was immediately felt during peak hours. As a large city with a high reliance on public transportation, these kinds of delays can significantly affect the daily routine of thousands of commuters, who depend on the Metro for timely travel.

Additionally, a report by the Sistema de Transporte Colectivo (STC) released shortly before 7:00 AM acknowledged that several Metro lines were experiencing high traffic. Despite the congestion on Lines 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, and A, the Metro claimed that train circulation was steady, reassuring passengers that service would resume to normal levels soon. However, incidents like these raise ongoing concerns regarding the infrastructure and management of Mexico City’s public transportation system, particularly during peak hours when demand is highest.
