'No train is coming!': Users of lines 3, 7, 9, and A of the CDMX Metro report delays
Users of the Mexico City Metro reported significant delays on lines A, 3, 7, and 9 due to high passenger volumes, particularly affecting those on Line A.
Users of the Mexico City Metro experienced delays of several minutes on various routes, with significant complaints centered around Line A, which runs from La Paz to PantitlΓ‘n. On the morning of February 11, passengers reported slow progress between stations, with some stops lasting up to five minutes. Comments from riders expressed frustration at the lack of trains and overcrowding, especially as they tried to enter the city during peak hours.
The official Metro account attributed the delays on Line A to the high influx of passengers during the morning commute but did not indicate any technical issues or malfunctions affecting operations. This pattern of delays on multiple lines, including lines 3, 7, and 9, raises concerns about the capacity and reliability of the Metro system in accommodating the large number of daily commuters in Mexico City.
These ongoing issues not only inconvenience daily travelers but also highlight broader challenges in public transport management in one of the largest cities in the world. Commuters are increasingly voicing their concerns through social media, creating pressure on transit authorities to improve service and efficiency, particularly during peak travel times.
