Metro de Santiago reported a significant disruption to its Line 5 service during rush hour this Thursday, resulting in several stations becoming unavailable to passengers.
Stations Affected
The transport authority identified four specific stations that are currently “not available”:
- Plaza de Maipú
- Santiago Bueras
- Del Sol
- Montetabor
Cause of Disruption
According to details provided by Metro de Santiago, the service interruptions are due to a “persona en la vía” (person on the tracks). As a result of this incident, Line 5 service is currently limited, operating only between Las Parcelas and Vicente Valdés.
Impact and Next Steps
The timing of the disruption during peak travel hours is likely to cause delays for commuters relying on the Line 5 corridor. Metro de Santiago has indicated that they will continue to provide updates as the situation evolves.
Passengers seeking real-time information on the status of the network may be able to find updates through the following channels:
- The official Metro network status portal.
- Transport-related profiles on X.
- The Red Movilidad profile.
Depending on the resolution of the incident on the tracks, service to the closed stations may be restored, though the timeframe for normalization remains unconfirmed.
