Metro CDMX Line 12 Partial Closure: Essential Information for Commuters
The Mexico City Collective Transportation System (Metro CDMX) has announced that nine stations on Line 12 will be temporarily out of service starting this weekend. From September 12 to September 16, 2026, service will only operate between Mixcoac and San Andrés Tomatlán in both directions.
Which Stations Are Affected?
The closure impacts the section from Tláhuac to Loma Estrella. This means the following nine stations will be closed:

- Tezonco
- Periférico Oriente

Commuters who regularly use these stations should plan for alternative transportation during this period.
Why Is the Closure Happening?
Metro CDMX explained that the temporary suspension of service is necessary for the replacement of electromechanical equipment for track changes. This maintenance work is crucial to ensure the safety and efficiency of the metro system.
Alternative Transportation Options
To mitigate the impact on passengers, a free RTP bus service will be provided to cover the affected route. These buses will operate between the closed stations, allowing commuters to continue their journeys with minimal disruption. Look for designated RTP bus stops near the closed metro stations.
