Metro CDMX Lines 3 and B Report Long Delays and Heavy Crowds
Metro CDMX riders reported long waits on Lines 3 and B on Nov. 10, 2026, while the STC cleared a metal object from Line 9 and cited high ridership.
Mexico City’s Metro had delays and heavy crowding in the early hours of Nov. 10, 2026, mainly on Lines 3, 9 and B, according to Publimetro México. Passengers reported stopped trains and long waits, and the Sistema de Transporte Colectivo (STC, the agency that runs Metro CDMX) confirmed high ridership on several stretches.
The STC also said crews worked to remove a metal object from the tracks of Line 9. Train movement began to speed up afterward.
One detail differs inside the Publimetro report: the headline says Monday the 10th, while the text says Tuesday, Nov. 10. This article uses the date given in the text.
Line 3 riders report stops between stations
Line 3 connects Indios Verdes with Universidad, and it drew many of the complaints. One passenger wrote that a train had spent 20 minutes covering 3 stations. Another said the train sat for about 15 minutes at Centro Médico.
Riders also reported limits on entry to the platforms at Indios Verdes and a possible power cut. Publimetro says neither has been confirmed officially.
In response to the complaints, the Metro said Line 3 had high ridership and that empty trains were being sent to the stations with the most demand.
Line B is slow between Ciudad Azteca and Buenavista
On Line B, which runs from Ciudad Azteca to Buenavista, passengers described slow movement and delays longer than usual. One rider who boarded at Ciudad Azteca said the trip had lasted 45 minutes and the train had only reached Bosques de Aragón.
What happened on Line 9
The STC said it carried out maneuvers to take a metal object off the Line 9 tracks. Publimetro reports that train traffic on the line started to move more quickly after that. The report does not say how the object got onto the tracks.
Which lines are busiest
According to the official report cited by Publimetro, Lines 3, 5, 9 and B had high ridership. Lines 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 12 and A had moderate to high demand.
What this means for commuters
Passengers on the busiest lines faced longer waits and slower trips during the morning. The authorities recommended that riders plan trips ahead of time and follow the STC’s service updates, since conditions on each line were changing through the morning.
The Metro had not confirmed the platform restrictions at Indios Verdes or a power cut on Line 3 at the time of the report.
