A unit breakdown on Metro Bilbao has led to a complicated morning for thousands of commuters, severely impacting service punctuality from the early hours. Delays, exceeding 20 minutes, have been reported on the network's main arteries, directly affecting routes towards Plentzia and Kabiezes, and Line 2 towards Bilbao, during the busiest travel period of the day.

The subway system is gradually attempting to restore normal operations. While Metro Bilbao has already removed the faulty unit that caused the morning's disruption, the consequences of the breakdown are still noticeable across the service.

The accumulation of passengers was particularly acute in Ezkerraldea. At Barakaldo station, one of the busiest, moments of tension arose as users found it physically impossible to board the crowded trains.
