Mexico City Light Rail Partially Restores Service After Huipulco Cable Failure

Maintenance crews responded at Huipulco after a broken messenger cable halted trains.

Overview

  • The city’s transport authority reported around 5 p.m. on December 16 that a broken messenger cable at Huipulco temporarily stopped the line.
  • Service began returning gradually through the evening as maintenance teams worked on site.
  • By 7 p.m., trains were running between Xochimilco and Las Torres, with RTP buses covering the Las TorresTasqueña segment.
  • Officials coordinated bus support to move passengers and issued service updates through official channels.
  • La Crónica de Hoy reported that the bus-only stretch is linked to construction at the closed Tasqueña terminal, so travelers should plan for extra time.
