A failure in this Tuesday (25), forced the passengers to go down the subway and walk the tracks. The problem, which happened at peak time, affected other stations and caused overcrowding, which made the road needed to be denergized, removed the circulation train and operations was reduced. According to the subway, around 5:45 pm a failure on a train damaged the operation and forced the passengers to go down between the Santa Cecilia, Republic and Anhangabaú stations. According to the subway, operations occur “without restrictions”. On the company’s website, line 3-red still appears with reduced speed report. “Passengers were removed with employee aid. The subway apologizes to the passengers for the provoked inconvenience, ”says the subway in a statement.
The problems in operations have generated passenger accumulation at the line stations, such as Tatuapé and Barra Funda, but there are also reports of stopping at other extensions, such as Luz Station, on Line 4-Yellow, and also at Santana Station (zone North), on line 1-blue. Because of the number of people at the seasons, some passengers described the situation as a kind of prison: “You can not get out of place and not simply enter (sic),” complained a user at X (former Twitter). Another user only mocked the situation and the extension: “good thing is red line.”
A video at Santana Station (line 1-Azul), in the North Zone, reports that security agents, around 7:10 pm, were preventing people from passing through the turns and heading towards Jabaquara Station (South Zone), Terminal Station of line. “Only those who arrived at the train station can pass the turnstile for the departure of the station,” says the post. Users wrote that the flow was normalized minutes later.
