The head of Government, Claudia Sheinbaum, said that 300 million pesos were used to restore service in six Metro lines affected by the fire at the Buen Tono substation. "We estimate between what the Federal Electricity Commission invested and what The Metro invested around 300 million pesos for this telemetry model. We hope the insurance itself will cover a significant part", the president quoted.
She also added that the final expert opinion is almost ready to determine the incident''s cause.
"Yesterday, we asked the attorney general in charge and the insurance company for their opinion. They mention they are still reviewing stations, material studies, etc. Hopefully, next week we can give a result for the incident that we lived in Delicias", mentioned the head of Government.
