The station, part of the 2 and 3 train lines, reopened to commuters at 7:28 a.m. The collapse was attributed to corroded steel beams, leading to violations for the property owner regarding maintenance. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported during the incident, and local council support helped expedite the reopening.
