General information

Train crash

[edit]

On October 20, 1975, at about 09:40 local time (15:40 GMT), two trains crashed, while both were going towards Tasqueña station. The first was parked at Viaducto station picking up passengers when it was hit by another train that did not stop in time. According to official reports, from 31 to 39 people died, and between 71 and 119 were injured. To date, it is the worst railroad accident recorded in the Mexico City Metro. The driver, Carlos Fernández, was found guilty and sentenced to 12 years in prison. After the crash, automatic traffic lights were incorporated to all lines.[12][13][14][15]

Notes

[edit]
  1. 1 2 3 The data here is limited to the most recent ten years to avoid excessive listings; earlier figures can be found in this page's history or on the Mexico City Metro website. To calculate the average daily ridership, the annual total is divided by 365 days (366 in leap years), with decimals omitted from the result. Each station per line is ranked individually, as the system counts transfer stations separately. The percentage change is calculated automatically using the data from the current year and the previous year.
