On February 17, 2023, users of the Mexico City Metropolitan System reported that several lines, including Lines 1, 2, 3, and A, are facing increased passenger traffic and notable delays. Line 3 has been particularly affected, with trains completely halted at some stations, causing frustration among riders who took to social media to voice their complaints. Some riders reported waiting more than 30 minutes without trains moving, leading to overcrowding and escalating anxiety among commuters.

Many passengers noted that trains leaving terminal stations were nearly empty, contradicting the high influx of riders and exacerbating delays as trains struggled to keep up with demand. In response to these complaints, the Metro authorities stated that they would dispatch empty trains to high-demand stations in an attempt to alleviate the situation. The ongoing issues with the metro system highlight the persistent challenges of managing public transport in a densely populated urban area, and the frustrations of daily commuters are becoming increasingly apparent.

The situation underscores the need for improvements in the Mexico City Metro system, as repeated delays and service interruptions can lead to significant disruptions in the daily lives of millions of commuters. As users have expressed their dissatisfaction, it raises questions about the efficiency and reliability of public transport in Mexico City and the measures that can be implemented to ensure a more effective service for the city's inhabitants.
