Mexico City Metro to Implement Operation Zero Fireworks 2025

The Mexico City Metro will be implementing Operation Zero Fireworks 2025 from September 9 to 17, with a focus on enhancing security at several key stations and terminals during the patriotic celebrations.

Stations such as Fray Servando, Merced, Candelaria, Jamaica, Allende, Zócalo, Pino Suárez, Bellas Artes, Balderas, Salto del Agua, Indios Verdes, Cuatro Caminos, and their terminals will receive special attention due to their higher risk status, as these areas are frequently associated with the exchange of fireworks.

Authorities urge citizens to refrain from bringing fireworks into the Metro during the celebrations, as violators may face fines and arrests. The specific penalty for carrying fireworks in the metro is not detailed, but typically, carrying prohibited items like fireworks in public transport could lead to fines or penalties based on local laws and regulations.

To reinforce security, the Collective Transportation System will have the presence of elements from the Banking and Industrial Police and the Metro Institutional Security Management. Personnel will use Garrett detectors to identify the presence of fireworks and will carry out constant supervision in trains, corridors, and access points.

The video surveillance system will allow for permanent monitoring in the areas considered to be at higher risk. Special attention will also be given to people who may be under the influence of toxic substances. Carrying dangerous objects such as rockets, firecrackers, or smoke bombs can lead to referral to a civil judge.

The Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC) will collaborate in the execution of Operation Zero Fireworks 2025. The main objective is to protect the integrity of the millions of users who transit daily through the system, especially on September 15 and 16.

Unfortunately, a recent train accident in Atlacomulco resulted in 8 deaths and 45 injuries, serving as a reminder of the importance of safety during these celebrations.

In a separate matter, Claudia Sheinbaum has taken a stance in a conflict between the mayor of Benito Juárez and América. No further details regarding this matter were provided.

A report of a man with a firearm was made at Terminal Autobuses del Norte, but it is unclear if this incident is related to the operation.
