The Metro system in Mexico City, known for its congestion, is currently facing delays of up to 15 minutes on Lines 3 and A. Passengers have reported packed stations, especially at Hidalgo, as the systems struggle to accommodate the high volume of users during peak hours. These delays have garnered attention on social media, where commuters have shared images depicting the crowded platforms and trains.

The System of Collective Transport (STC) has acknowledged that the delays are partially caused by the withdrawal of trains for maintenance checks, which has led to frustrations among daily commuters. Users on Line A have expressed confusion about the lack of train movement at critical stations like Peñón Viejo and La Paz. The situation has been exacerbated by additional delays at Canal de San Juan, where trains have come to a halt unexpectedly.

In response to these incidents, the STC has stated that operations will be upgraded to improve the flow on Line A after the maintenance work is completed. However, the immediate impact of the delays is causing significant inconvenience to the thousands of passengers who rely on the service every day, particularly during the busy morning commute to work and school.
