Metro Morelos

Morelos is a station on the Mexico City Metro.^[1][2][3] It is located in Venustiano Carranza borough, in the north of Mexico City.^[1] The station logo depicts the profile of José María Morelos y Pavón, second instigator of the War of Independence of 1810.^[1][2][3] Its name refers to the neighborhood which it serves.

This station has a peculiar feature; it is the only one that has two different logos: one, the profile of Morelos shown above; the other, a ¾-view of him. Both logos were stylised reproductions of peso coins from the 1980s. Today the ¾-view logo is used only in the Line 4 area of the station.

Metro Morelos was originally to be named Metro Terminal Tapo, referring to the eastern intercity bus station.<ref name="central_3>"eastern intercity bus station".

Metro San Lázaro is closer to the bus station and, in fact, is directly connected to it by means of a pedestrian tunnel.

Metro Morelos has facilities for the handicapped, and a cultural display.
