Protests suspend part of Mexico City's Light Rail service
Protests at the Paseos de La Virgen intersection suspended Light Rail service on part of its route in Mexico City.
Trains are running only between Tasqueña and Estadio Azteca in both directions.
Passengers need to use other transport along Calzada de Tlalpan for the closed section or continue from the temporary terminal.
Protests also caused detours on the Metrobús Line 4 south route and closed Buenavista station on Line 3.
Maintenance work closed Metro Coyuya station on Metrobús Line 2 toward Tepalcates.
Separately, a broken overhead power line disrupted Metro Line A, but the full line has since reopened between Pantitlán and La Paz.
The changes and delays affect journeys across the city, and passengers are advised to allow extra travel time and consider alternatives.
