High traffic affects several Metro Lines in Mexico City, causing delays of over 10 minutes for riders.

On Tuesday, February 24, the Metro system in Mexico City is experiencing significant delays on at least six lines, leading to substantial wait times for passengers. Many users have reported that Line 3, heading towards Indios Verdes, is particularly slow, with trains frequently stopping at stations. Complaints from passengers highlight delays of up to 10 minutes at specific stops, raising frustrations among commuters who rely on timely service.

Specifically, riders expressed their dissatisfaction with the slow pace of trains, pointing out that they are having to wait excessively at stations like CoyoacΓ‘n. Many have called for urgent improvements, with one user urging Metro authorities to send empty trains to help alleviate the crowding at busy stations like Tacubaya.
