A tube driver has been reported after he allegedly came to work whilst drunk.

The man was filmed by a passenger and can be seen appearing to sway from side to side as it goes along.

At one point, his head even looks like it dips forward as if he is falling asleep on top of the controls.

Although the train wasn’t moving at a high speed, his actions caused concern among those travelling.

He showed signs of being unable to keep his balance throughout the journey, leading passengers to accuse him of being drunk.

The passenger who filmed him allegedly attempted to report it to authorities, however, he did not receive a response.

On 7 January, the video went viral after being shared on social media.

The incident occurred on Line One which left the Salto del Agua station in Mexico City.

Transport company Metro CDMX then contacted the passenger and asked him for more information on the incident.

Metro CDMX has since confirmed that they are investigating the issue, as reported by Need To Know.

It is not known at this stage for certain whether the driver on the pink line was intoxicated.

If the accusations turn out to be true, the transport company has assured that ‘the corresponding corrective sanctions will be applied’.

A Mexico City Transport System spokesperson said: “Regarding the video mentioned, the Metro informs that an investigation has been launched to clarify the facts.”

“If what happened is confirmed, the corresponding corrective sanctions will be applied, in accordance with the provisions of the current collective bargaining agreement.

“Thank you for the report.”
