List of Mexico City metro stations
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Presented below is a list stations within the Mexico City Metro system, as of 2006, organized by line. The order in which they are listed follows the convention used by Sistema de Transporte Colectivo (the public company that manages the system) to list the stations in north-south and west-east fashion.
In addition to listing all 175 stations, the opening date of each one of them is also provided, including their type of construction, which can fit in one of three categories: underground, surface ("street-level") and elevated (in form of an elevated viaduct). In total, 107 stations are under ground, 52 are located on street-level and 16 are elevated.
Finally, this list also provides the connections with other public transportation systems within Mexico City. These include the Xochimilco to Tasqueña light rail, the Insurgentes Metrobús (a bus rapid transit line); and the bus and trolleybus networks. It does not include connections to private means of transportation such as peseros (mini-buses) or bus depots.
[edit] Line 1: Observatorio – Pantitlán
The first section of line 1 was the first to be opened in the system, in 1969. After four expansions, the line currently has 20 stations over a total track length of 18.828 km, of which 16.654 km are passenger track. The line has a general east-west direction passing through the city center and its color is pink.
It is the only line in the system where all stations run underground, and although a section of the track past the Observatorio terminal is located on the street-level, it is only used for train maintenance. Six stations connect with other metro lines. Line 1 is served by MP-68 trains, built in France in 1968 and NE-92 trains, built in Spain in 1992.
