Passengers on Mexico City's Metro recorded and reported a Line 2 driver who allegedly nodded off and fainted while operating the train, speeding up and braking suddenly. Women demanded he not drive further and called for the station chief. The Metro is investigating the incident at General Anaya station.
Women in the front cars of a Line 2 train alerted about the driver's irregular operation, who according to the viral video sped up and braked abruptly. "Don't let him drive anymore, he's about to faint... He's driving really badly... Where's your station chief?", passengers demanded as the operator left the cab, entered the women-only car, and walked through the aisles.
The incident took place near General Anaya station, before Tasqueña. Passengers said the man "nodded off" and "rested" on the control panel, prompting calls for a medical check from the station chief.
Mexico City's Metro stated on social media it is reviewing the driver's performance to ensure compliance with operational procedures. "Appropriate measures will be taken if necessary", the agency said. It emphasized no risk existed, as train operations are monitored live from the Central Control Post with ongoing staff communication.
The Citizen Security Secretariat has not commented on the matter.
