Map of the Mexico City Metro and Xochimilco Light Rail systems

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 government operated public transportation systems within Mexico City. These include the STE (Sistema de Transportes Electricos) Xochimilco to Tasqueña light rail, the Insurgentes Metrobús (a bus rapid transit line), municipal RTP (Red de Transporte de Pasajeros) motor bus and STE trolleybus networks. It does not include connections to private means of transportation such as peseros (mini-buses) or bus depots.
