Following a 7.4-magnitude earthquake that struck Colombia on August 10, 2026, Mayor Federico Gutiérrez of Medellín announced that a section of the city's Metrocable system will not operate on August 11. The suspension is due to structural faults and a detected displacement resulting from the seismic event.

Separately, in Mexico City, transit authorities reported on the status of Metrobús station closures on August 11. The Metrobús serves over 22 million users, making it the second most utilized transport system in the Mexican capital behind the STC Metro, according to data from the National Institute of Statistics.
