The operation of the Medellin Metro is delayed this Monday morning. Boarding a train, as explained by the entity, can take up to 6 minutes. The collapse occurred because some people stopped a train and got off the railway.
“A novelty was presented with one of the trains at the Prado station, where users pulled down levers and it was not possible to move it because some of them descended to the railway without the indication of the Metro staffthis impacted the frequencies that are normalized at this time, ”explained the Metro in a statement.

“Once the road occupied by passengers has been released, we are working to normalize the frequencies of the trains on line A and the entrance to the stations,” the Metro pointed out.
In another of the points in which the official and citizen information did not coincide was with the entrance to the stations. The Metro pointed out that, while they were solving their faults, the entrance to the stations was being controlled. Users, for their part, reported that stations like Bello the entrance was blocked and they shared photos in which the station can be seen with the fence down.
“I don’t understand why the Medellín metro continues to let people enter the stations. It would be better if they said that it is completely collapsed and the delays are more than 10 minutes. So one better informs oneself before paying such an expensive ticket to suffer in there”, said Katherine Ossa around 9:00 this Monday morning.
