General information

edit

Martín Carrera is both a terminal station and a transfer station, linking Lines 4 and 6, both of which terminate here.[2][3] Like other terminal stations on the network, this one is multimodal: it connects with suburban bus lines that serve areas including Cerro Gordo, Vía Morelos, and others across the state line of the State of Mexico.[2] The station also connects with trolleybus line "LL", which runs between the San Felipe de Jesús neighbourhood and Metro Hidalgo.[4] The station is near the Basílica de Guadalupe, a Roman Catholic shrine and place of pilgrimage.[5]

The station was opened with the others along the northern portion of Line 4 on 29 August 1981.[6] Service along Line 6 started on 8 July 1986.[6]

  1. 1 2 3 4 5 6 The data here is limited to the most recent ten years to avoid excessive listings; earlier figures can be found in this page's history or on the Mexico City Metro website. To calculate the average daily ridership, the annual total is divided by 365 days (366 in leap years), with decimals omitted from the result. Each station per line is ranked individually, as the system counts transfer stations separately. The percentage change is calculated automatically using the data from the current year and the previous year.
