Rainfall Disrupts Mexico City Public Transport

Severe rainfall in Mexico City has led to significant disruptions in public transportation services. The Light Rail system is currently operating on a provisional basis, with services running only between Tasqueña and Estadio Azteca stations. This measure is a direct response to water accumulation on the tracks near the Huipulco station, which has suspended service towards Xochimilco.

The Servicio de Transportes Eléctricos (STE) announced the provisional service, noting that the flooding occurred on Calzada de Tlalpan and San Juan de Dios, near the Huipulco station. Emergency teams from the Tlaloque operation, which assists in mitigating floods, have been dispatched to the affected site to address the water buildup and work towards restoring normal circulation.

In addition to the Light Rail, Line 14 of the Trolleybus, connecting Metro Universidad with Huipulco, is also experiencing service interruptions. The STE has implemented a temporary route that covers the journey from Terminal CETRAM Universidad to San Benjamín. The usual route extending to Huipulco remains suspended until further notice due to the ongoing flood conditions.
