PARDO, María del Carmen  and  VAZQUEZ, Marcela I.. A Complex Event? The History of the Implementation of Line 12 of the System of Collective Transport “Metro” in Mexico City.

On August 8, 2007, the Mexico City government announced the construction of a new Metro Transportation System (STC) line, which would run from Tláhuac to Mixcoac. This text describes the decisions regarding the construction of the STC Metro line 12 (L12), also known as “golden line”, and the situations that caused its “dimming”, from the main available antecedents on its construction, to its partial closure and reopening. This article synthesizes different documents and reports, and relates the events around the L12 problematic. This document is intended to provide systematized information for the multidimensional analysis of the STC Metro line 12 seen as a complex decision of the political-administrative reality of Mexico, in order to learn and identify lessons to avoid decisions that can affect a significantly part of the population in the future, as it clearly is the case of the partial closure of the L12.

Keywords : local government; subway; public transportation; policy implementation; complex decision.
