Mexico City's Metro Line 2 has restored full train operations between Tasqueña and Cuatro Caminos, following necessary maintenance work on Calzada de Tlalpan. While trains are now running along the entire route, several stations remain inaccessible to the public as operational adjustments continue.
The stations currently closed to passengers include San Antonio Abad, Chabacano, Viaducto, Nativitas, Portales, and Zócalo/Tenochtitlan. Trains will pass through these stations without stopping for passengers. The Metro system stated that these closures are part of an operational strategy linked to the ongoing work in the Calzada de Tlalpan area and will remain in effect until further notice.
In this moment, train services are being restored on the entire Line 2 of the @MetroCDMX, from Tasqueña to Cuatro Caminos.
Despite the station closures, the Metro is providing free replacement bus service through the Red de Transporte Pasajeros (RTP) for affected commuters. After 10 p.m. each night, service on Line 2 will operate in two distinct segments: Tasqueña to Xola, and Pino Suárez to Cuatro Caminos. This phased approach aims to manage the impact of the maintenance while gradually restoring full functionality.
Trains will run through the stations San Antonio Abad, Chabacano and Viaducto without allowing passengers to board or alight.
