Metro Buenavista

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Metro Buenavista is a station on the Mexico City Metro, in the Cuauhtémoc borough. It serves, and is fact is the terminal station of Line B (the green-on-silver line, Buenavista-Ciudad Azteca). It also serves the Insurgentes Metrobús bus rapid transit line.

The station logo represents the front of an ALCO type diesel locomotive. Its name comes from the nearby Estación Buenavista (Buenavista Station) main line railway station, which closed its doors to passenger traffic in 1999 (it will reopen for the new Tren Suburbano).

Near Metro Buenavista is the central administrative building of the Cuauhtémoc borough local government, the library "Biblioteca Vasconcelos" and, on Saturday mornings only, the Tianguis Cultural del Chopo, a flea market dedicated to youth culture (mostly music).
