Resumen:
The reasons why the suspension of subway line 12 operations happens
requires understanding several causalities. This article proposes four
analytical axes from an organizational point of view. These axes
summarize how the disorganization and uncontrol of the organizations
that build, design and operate the subway, among an opaque political
governance on the hands of local government actors, allowed the
technical failures and imprudence which yield the suspension of the line
12 for several months. This analytical framework shows that this
disorganization is still in place and very probably will cause new
situations like the fiasco of line 12. The article calls for a
discussion on the recovery of the governance needed to link the
political, technical, and organizational factors required to operate
critical urban infrastructures like the subway.
