Buenavista is a station on the Mexico City Metro, in the Colonia Buenavista neighborhood of the Cuauhtémoc borough.[2][3] It is the southwestern terminal station of Line B (the green-on-silver line, Buenavista-Ciudad Azteca).[2] It also offers connections to the Insurgentes Metrobús bus rapid transit line.[2] In 2019, the station had an average ridership of 66,804 passengers per day, making it the tenth busiest station in the network.[4]

Name and pictogram

[edit]

The station logo represents the front of an ALCO type diesel locomotive.[2][3] Its name comes from the nearby Estación Buenavista (Buenavista railway station) main line railway station, which closed its doors to passenger traffic in 1999,[5] but then reopened for the new Tren Suburbano in 2008.[6] The metro station was opened on 15 December 1999.[7]

General information

[edit]

In December 1999, the Buenavista metro station was opened as part of the first stretch of Line B, going from Buenavista to Villa de Aragón.[2]

Near Buenavista is the central administrative building of the Cuauhtémoc borough local government,[8] the library Biblioteca Vasconcelos,[9] and on Saturday mornings only the Tianguis Cultural del Chopo, a flea market dedicated to youth culture (mostly music),[10][11] and Forum Buenavista shopping mall.[12]

As of 2020, Buenavista offers connections with the Ferrocarril Suburbano, a commuter rail that has Cuautitlán in the State of Mexico as final destination. Also, users can connect with Lines 1, 3 and 4 of the Metrobús, a bus rapid transit network.[13]
