The director of the Metro, Guillermo Calderón, elaborated on the causes of the noise that users heard during the accident
The situation, in addition to causing displeasure among users due to the interruption of the service, raised various doubts regarding the work of the uniformed officers who recently arrived at the STC to protect the safety of citizens.
“Did the GN not guarantee the safety of the person?”, “Hey, and the national guard?”, “And that’s not what the national guard is for? Or does it serve the same purpose as our police force?” They were some of the first comments that people shared on social networks about it.
On the other hand, there were those who took advantage of the tragic event to criticize the administration of Claudia Sheinbaum, head of government of Mexico City, on suspicion of an alleged “sabotage” against her.

The suspension in the circulation of trains was reported at 10:26 p.m. on January 17. Half an hour later, at 10:55 p.m., authorities shared on social networks that the service had been restored. “The advance of the trains is continuous”, they wrote in a short message.
