On the day of the incident, the coordinator of the Metroviários union, Raimundo Cordeiro, criticized the fact that a dialect operator was implicated. "What caused the movement of the train will be determined," he said, noting that the system of conducting the compositions "has some automation".

The lines 1 blue and 3 red are the main lines of the metro and have been compromised after a breakdown. According to Metro data, each carries an average of about 1.4 million pbadengers on business days.

On social networks, pbadengers shared images of crowded and crowded train stations on the outside. One of them showed the situation on the Avenue Engenheiro Armando de Arruda Pereira, in Jabaquara. Users piled on sidewalks after the station closed.
