Metro CDMX faces multiple service disruptions on Lines A, B, and 9

The Mexico City Metro faced a series of service disruptions across multiple lines in July 2026, attributed to heavy rainfall, unauthorized individuals on tracks, and high passenger demand. The most significant incident occurred on July 20, when Line A suspended operations from Guelatao to La Paz due to intense precipitation in the eastern zone. The Metro confirmed that five stations—Peñón Viejo, Acatitla, Santa Marta, Los Reyes, and La Paz—were closed indefinitely, with RTP buses providing a shuttle service between Guelatao and Santa Marta Source: Milenio.

Also on July 20, a man was detained after climbing onto the roof of a train on Line B near the Morelos station. The Metro implemented a power cut and slow maneuvers, resulting in delays of over 10 minutes for some passengers. Service was fully restored by 10:15 AM Source: Excélsior. Two days earlier, on July 18, Line B had been temporarily halted when a person entered the tracks; after removal, trains resumed with 5-6 minute intervals Source: Heraldo de México.

Earlier in the month, on July 12, Line 9 was suspended near Jamaica station due to a person falling onto the tracks. Emergency protocols were activated for a rescue Source: Infobae. That same day, in a separate event, the Metro opened four lines (1, 2, 3, and 9) at 5:00 AM—two hours early—to facilitate the XIX Medio Maratón de la CDMX, and offered free rides to registered runners Source: Infobae.

Users have voiced complaints over chronic delays and lack of timely information, particularly on Line B. The Metro maintains that the service disruptions were not due to mechanical failures but to external factors such as heavy rain, high demand, and safety incidents, and urges passengers to permit door closure and avoid track areas Source: Heraldo de México.
