Mexico City Metro investment disputed as mayor rebuts union over service faults

In Mexico City, Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum defended the Metro's funding, citing investment of 1.5 billion pesos, even as union warnings of trains out of service and pending maintenance continued, with millions relying on the system for daily transport.

The Sindicato Nacional de Trabajadores del Sistema de Transporte Colectivo had threatened a staged work stoppage due to claims of underinvestment. Sheinbaum countered, stating that there is substantial investment in the system and said, "No hay motivo para manifestarse." The mayor also described the investment as considerable and dismissed the union's concerns.
