ChatGPT tl;dr
Mexico City subway riders are expressing concerns that distracted train operators might be putting commuters’ lives at risk, following a collision of two trains that left one dead and dozens injured. However, due to the system being poorly maintained, drivers depend on their phones to communicate with each other and keep the trains running. The use of cellphones during working hours is not condoned by Mexico City’s mass transit workers’ union as per the organization’s general guidelines but it is essential for the trains to run smoothly. The Mexico City subway is one of the cheapest in the world: 5 pesos (about 25 cents) per ride, but the budget only covers operative costs. It would require double its current budget to cover maintenance costs.
