Mexico City Light Rail Partially Suspended Due to Catenary Failure; RTP Offers Support Service

Mexico City's Light Rail service is experiencing partial disruptions, affecting the route from Estadio Azteca to Xochimilco. The suspension is due to a broken catenary line, which supplies power to the trains, located between the Tepepan and Periférico stations.

Service is currently operating only between Tasqueña and Estadio Azteca. Specialized personnel from the Elevated Line are on-site working to repair the damaged catenary and restore full service as quickly as possible. The Servicio de Transportes Eléctricos (STE), which manages the light rail, confirmed the ongoing repairs and the limited operational sections.

To mitigate the impact on passengers, the Red de Transporte de Pasajeros (RTP) has implemented a free support service. This service connects Estadio Azteca with Xochimilco, providing an alternative for commuters affected by the light rail's partial shutdown. The STE has urged users to stay informed about service updates as the situation develops.
