On December 23, 2025, Mexico City Metro users report prolonged waits on lines 3 and 9, with trains frequently stopping at stations. Despite winter vacations, high ridership is noted across several lines, though officials claim normal operations on line 3. Social media complaints underscore passenger frustration.
The Mexico City Metro is experiencing significant delays on December 23, 2025, amid the winter vacation period. Users have reported waits of up to 20 minutes to board trains on lines 3 and 9, where convoys repeatedly stop at stations, even without evident high ridership.
According to posts on social media platform X, the Collective Transport System Metro reports high affluence on lines 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, B, and 12, with wait times of 6 minutes. In contrast, lines 4 and 6 show moderate affluence and 5-minute waits. One passenger questioned: “Qué pasa en línea 3? Se queda varado en cada estación y ni siquiera hay alta afluencia?? Dirección CU”. Another added: “Línea 9 ahora por que se está deteniendo en cada estacion ? Ya pónganse a trabajar, no puede ser que llevemos 20 minutos de pantitlan a ciudad deportiva”.
In response, the Metro stated: “Buen día. Al momento la Línea 3 opera sin incidentes, se agiliza la circulación y salida de los trenes desde las terminales. Permite el libre cierre de puertas, así como descender del vagón antes de ingresar”. Complaints persist, however, such as one about the train at Coyoacán station: “Por qué no avanza el tren que está en Coyoacán ambos sentidos ? Ahora que cuentose van a aventar”.
Additionally, a security protocol is in place, including inspections of bags and backpacks throughout the system. These issues build on similar reports from the previous day, impacting those reliant on public transport in the capital.
