Metro CDMX Reopens Most Stations After Protests, Four Line 2 Stops Remain Closed

Authorities maintained heightened security measures to protect World Cup inauguration attendees.

Overview

  • The Metro suspended service at multiple stations because demonstrations concentrated in the Centro Histórico on Thursday, prompting rolling, preventive closures across Lines 1, 2 and 3.
  • Metro director Adrián Rubalcava first reported about 11 closed stations, then raised the total to 14 with the addition of Nativitas, and later announced widespread reopenings as conditions were reassessed.
  • As of the latest official updates on June 11 the system was largely restored but four Line 2 stations—Bellas Artes, Allende, Zócalo/Tenochtitlan and Chabacano—remained closed due to ongoing protests.
  • Federal and city authorities said there were conditions to guarantee the World Cup inauguration would proceed, deployed extra security and mobility operations, and urged riders to use official channels for real-time information.
  • Commuters and fans traveling to the Estadio Ciudad de México and Fan Fest were advised to anticipate delays, use alternate routes or special Metrobús services, and monitor Metro and city updates in case station status changes.
