Mexico City Metro Line 2 Partial Closure Extended Until June 4

Mexico City's Line 2 of the Metro will continue operating with a partial closure as maintenance work enters its final phase. The line, which serves a significant portion of the city, has been running a provisional service for several days, impacting over a million users.

Currently, the line is divided into two operational segments: from Tasqueña to Xola, and from Pino Suárez to Cuatro Caminos. To connect these sections and cover the closed stretch between Xola and Pino Suárez, the Red de Transporte Pasajeros (RTP) is providing bus services. Passengers are unable to board or alight at the Nativitas and Portales stations.

This provisional service is scheduled to continue through June 1, 2, and 3. The Metro authorities have announced that full service across the entire Line 2, from Tasqueña to Cuatro Caminos, will be restored on June 4. However, a caveat remains: passengers will still be unable to board or alight at the San Antonio Abad, Portales, and Nativitas stations until further notice.

The Metro administration emphasized that these closures are part of essential upgrades being conducted in preparation for the World Cup. They also stated that the station renovations will extend beyond the international sporting event, aiming to provide long-term benefits to the line's extensive user base. The ongoing work reflects a commitment to modernizing the city's public transport infrastructure.
