At the Medical Center station, only the modular posts and those assigned for blind people, authorized by the Metro, remain open.
The Salto del Agua, Guerrero, Garibaldi, Tacubaya, Ninos Héroes and Pino Suárez stations are also empty of street vendors, according to a tour.
However, some vendors still offer their wares while hiding from the elements of the capital police.
On Lines 2, 3 and 8, the presence of vendors known as ‘vagoneros’ could be observed.
This is the case of a young man who gets on the Chabacano station of Line 2 towards Taxqueña, and takes advantage of the fact that he is carrying a girl of about three years old while hiding a black bag with a package of diapers. As soon as the train begins to circulate, he takes out books with poems, word searches and riddles that he offers for 10 pesos.
Arriving at the next station, he squats between the seats to hide from the policemen who are on the platforms.
On Line 8 Fine Arts towards Constitución de 1917, a 50-year-old woman also boards the car and when the doors close, she begins to sell small coloring books, but instead of shouting to announce herself, she approaches the passengers of the cars exclusively for women to whom he shows his merchandise in a low voice.
