It sounds like malicious (but not really) compliance would quickly get this solved.

This would go something like an open letter to management and the public.

"Dear metro users and management,

On X date we will compile with the rules. We'll all stop using our phones. If our radios aren't working we're required to run the trains even slower to maintain safety. (Hopefully that's actually a rule.)

We understand this will effectively shutdown the metro, but it needs funding to operate safely. We cannot in good conscious continue endangering the lives of our passengers and ourselves."

The public will demand funding.

This is Mexico, the public can't demand funding.
