The affected stations are San Antonio Abad, Portales and Nativitas, which will suspend service until next month. Zócalo/Tenochtitlan station remains closed from before.

The National Union of the Collective Transport System Metro of Mexico City began staggered strikes on Monday, April 13, 2026, by not working overtime, leading to the loss of about 800 train runs and affecting nearly 2 million users. Union leader Fernando Espino highlighted severe issues like 7,000 fractured sleepers on Line 1 and lack of major maintenance on 70% of trains. President Claudia Sheinbaum stated there are no reasons for the strike, as resources are being invested in renovations.
