"LESIONES A USUARIA AL CAER EN **UNAS REJILLAS** DEL METRO CHAPULTEPEC LÍNEA 1."
Would this be a grate or a vent that the passenger fell on? I'm just wondering why it's in the plural.
Thanks once again.

Vent
It is definitely vent. But often they are not in the station but outside, on the street, and the tube passes underneath them. Either plural or singular, there is no difference.

There was recently an accident where a woman kept walking and passed the yellow line on the floor and fell off the platform. It was on that station (Chapultepec). So maybe they are talking about that.

grate
Possibly the grates that are on ground level in the streets of Mexico City.
Can't see why they use the plural either!
