Minute30.com .- Line T (tram) of the Medellín Metro experienced an afternoon of chaos this Wednesday, October 29, registering two operational failures in less than two hours, which generated strong discomfort and requests for clarity from users. Furthermore, “they recommend rue baths.”
The First Failure
The first incident was reported at 3:04 pm due to a technical problem, forcing the tram to operate only on the section between Oriente and Miraflores. Fortunately, this impact was overcome at 3:41 pm when full commercial service between San Antonio and Oriente was restored.
Second Arrest and System Collapse
However, normality was short-lived. At 4:22 pm a second interruption was reported: “Due to technical procedure, the units of Line T (tram) are stopped.” Although the Metro reported at 4:31 pm that the operation was normalizing, the damage had already been done.
Users Explode: “Don’t Play with People’s Time”

The failures generated outrage among users, who used social networks to denounce what they consider to be a lack of veracity in the reports:
«It’s a lie. Please don’t lie, play with people’s time or cause the system to collapse even more.
“I confidently went down to the east to be able to use the tram and they won’t let me in because they still have the problem, please don’t play with people’s time.”
«Over here [en redes] “They say it works and you go to the tram and it’s a lie.”
The situation has led users to ask the Metro: “What is happening with the tram, there are already two damages this week at the same time?”, pointing out the recurrence of problems in the transportation system.
Other damage
The operational problems are not limited to the Tram or the recent contingency on Line A; The Metrocables system has also suffered a series of interruptions that complicate mobility in Medellín.
