Light Rail Service Suspended Tuesday Morning; Here's Why

The Light Rail service in Mexico City suffered morning disruptions on Tuesday, forcing a suspension of operations on the segment between Estadio Azteca and Tasqueña. This interruption significantly impacted users who rely on the system daily to connect with Metro Line 2. The Sistema de Transportes Eléctricos (STE) attributed the service failure to an inspection of the El Vergel substation, which supplies power to Tasqueña. Consequently, trains only operated between Xochimilco and Estadio Azteca, leading to frustration among passengers who had to seek alternative transportation to reach their workplaces. One user expressed dismay, stating, "Tomorrow they will discriminate against us again for not having a ticket, because there are people who use the train daily and they don't let us use it. We pay the daily fare, will they let us get on?". After maintenance personnel worked on the affected area for several minutes, the service was completely restored. The STE announced, "The substation inspection has concluded, so service is resuming from Xochimilco to Tasqueña in both directions."
