Due to the ongoing rain in Mexico City, safety precautions have been implemented on Lines 3, 8, and 12 of the Metro. This means that train speeds are being reduced to ensure passenger safety. The Metro CDMX has issued a statement advising users to take the necessary precautions during their commute.
There have also been reports of delays on Line 8 due to the inspection of a train. Contrary to what some social media posts suggested, there was no fire incident as was initially feared. Users had shared images depicting smoke at the UAM-I station, but the Metro confirmed that train services were continuous and that there was no risk to passengers. They emphasized the importance of verifying information and avoiding the spread of misinformation.
In light of the forecasted rain in the capital, the Metro has decreased train speeds across all lines for safety reasons. The weather report indicates a likelihood of rain this afternoon and evening, prompting this precautionary measure.
As normal operations resume, the Metro and Metrobús services in Mexico City operate on their regular schedules as of July 23. Commuters can check for updates and further information from official sources like the Metro CDMX Twitter account or other reliable news platforms for real-time updates on their travel.
