Two weeks after Metro service began last month,
all Metro rail service shut down. The mayor has been
holding emergency meetings in an effort
to re-start service.
The system operator shut down the service,
citing infrastructure problems and contractual
failures by the city of Quito.
During the nine days the system served the publlic,
there were break-downs in the ticketing system,
physical problems with escalators at some Metro
stations and other infrastructure problems.
The city considers the complete shutdown of
the system by the operating consortium 'unacceptable.'
