Metro to install thermal cameras at stations to monitor influx; share images of platforms

The Mexican Metro system is implementing 800 thermal cameras across selected stations, primarily on Lines 2, 7, and part of Line 3, as part of a $40 million investment aimed at monitoring passenger flow. These cameras will provide real-time data on crowd levels through color-coded visuals, allowing users to check station occupancy before entering. The thermal images will be made publicly available on the Metro’s website and social media platforms, while security centers will view conventional footage. The initiative aims to enhance transparency and help commuters avoid overcrowded stations by offering alternative transportation options. The deployment will start with a pilot at the Auditorio station and expand to high-demand terminals like Tasqueña, Universidad, Pantitlán, and Cuatro Caminos.
