Unauthorized Person on Metro Line 7 Tracks Forces Power Cut and Service Halt

| CDMX

An individual entered the restricted electrical track zone of Metro Line 7 on May 13, forcing STC to cut power on the affected segment and halt train service while emergency personnel removed the person safely. Line 7 service was suspended between affected stations for an undisclosed period before normal circulation resumed. The incident came amid ongoing concern about security and unauthorized access at STC Metro stations — a recurring challenge for a system serving over 4.2 million daily passengers. Line 7 runs from El Rosario in the northwest (Azcapotzalco) through Cuauhtémoc to Barranca del Muerto in Álvaro Obregón.
