Mexico deploys National Guard in metro after accidents
Thousands of National Guard members will be deployed in the Mexico City metro following a series of safety incidents, including a crash this month that left one person dead, officials said Thursday.
Safety concerns have shaken public confidence in a transport system used by millions of people in the congested megacity.
From Thursday, around 6,000 members of the National Guard will be present in the metro, Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum told reporters.
The move comes after two metro trains collided in a tunnel Saturday, killing a young woman and injuring dozens.
