These are the systems which the police, fire and ambulance are in contact with each other. But the communication system of the subway stopped working. The control room was not able to communicate with the train drivers including the metros.
Thus did the RET decided not to operate the metro line. After a few hours, the metro traffic was moving again. Initially, that morning it was decided to drive slowly with the metros and testing was done with empty metro's
