Name and pictogram

edit

The station receives its name due to being located at the intersection between Eje Central (Lázaro Cardenas) and Avenida Popocatépetl. The station's pictogram shows the outline of a Mexico City trolleybus, since Line 1 of Mexico City trolleybus service (also known as the Zero Emissions Corridor) runs all the way on the Eje Central.[5]

General information

The station is located south of the city center in the Portales Sur neighborhood in the Benito Juárez borough and it is built underground.[6]

From 23 April to 22 June 2020, the station was temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico.[7][8]
