Mexico City Metro Line 2 Restores Full Service Amid Ongoing World Cup Preparations

Mexico City's Metro Line 2 has restored full train service between Cuatro Caminos and Tasqueña, concluding an extended period of disruption. The Metro's collective transport system announced the complete reactivation of the line on Thursday night, a move that comes sooner than the initially projected Sunday morning completion for ongoing works.

Despite the full service resumption, several stations along the line will remain closed to passengers. These include Chabacano, San Antonio Abad, Zócalo, Nativitas, and Portales. While trains will pass through these stations, passengers will not be able to board or alight. The Viaducto station will reopen but only operate until 10:00 PM.

This reactivation follows significant user dissatisfaction with the temporary RTP bus service implemented to compensate for the line's partial closure. Commuters complained about delays and even instances of bus hijacking by the CNTE teachers' union, contributing to the chaos.

The Metro confirmed that weekday service will commence at 5:00 AM with full operations from Tasqueña to Cuatro Caminos. However, from 10:00 PM onwards, an emergency service supported by RTP will run between Pino Suárez and Xola. Specific operating hours for Saturdays and Sundays have not yet been confirmed.
