Overview
- Metro applied its reduced-speed marcha de seguridad across much of the network on Tuesday as persistent rain made tracks and braking systems riskier, forcing trains to run more slowly to protect passengers and equipment.
- The slowdowns have increased wait times and crowding on key routes, with users reporting delays of about 15 minutes in places such as Line B while Metro said lines remain open and staffed.
- Separately, security protocols to remove a person from tracks at Canal de San Juan produced a localized slowdown on Line A as staff worked to clear the hazard and restore normal circulation.
- To help manage fan travel for the Mexico–Ecuador World Cup match, Metro extended service on Lines 1, 2 and 3 until 1:00 a.m., and city agencies urged riders to use Metrobús, RTP, Trolebús or ECOBICI where possible.
- Marcha de seguridad is a routine STC protocol used in heavy rain to avoid slips, brake problems and electrical faults, and because the Metro moves millions daily even small slowdowns can sharply affect commuters and event crowds.
