MXThe Line 1 of Mexico City's Metro system, which has been undergoing modernization for over three years, continues to experience delays caused by various incidents lasting more than five minutes. According to a transparency report obtained by El Universal, there have been a total of 1,250 events and failures recorded up to August 11, 2026, affecting service. The most frequent issue is the KFS system, responsible for emergency braking, which accounted for 540 cases, over half of all reports. The Automatic Piloting System followed with 146 cases, while overcrowding during peak hours contributed to 144 delays. Other issues include mechanical failures, electrical problems, and external factors such as people or animals on the tracks, objects left by passengers, and weather-related disruptions. Observations show trains frequently experience delays of up to four minutes per station between 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM.
