Tacuba metro station
Tacuba is a station of the Mexico City Metro.[2][3][4] It is located in the Tacuba district of the Miguel Hidalgo borough, to the west of downtown Mexico City.[2] It lies along Lines 2 and 7.[2][3][4]
The station logo depicts three flowers,[3][4] as its name comes from the Nahuatl language word tlacopan, that which means "land of flowers".[2] It refers to the ancient Tepanec kingdom of Tlacopan that existed in the area in pre-Columbian times.[2]
This transfer station was previously the terminal for Metro Line 2 and opened for service along that line on 14 September 1970.[5] Service was extended westward along Line 2 from Tacuba to Panteones and Cuatro Caminos on 22 August 1984.[5] Line 7 opened up through Tacuba on 20 December 1984.[5] The station transfers not only to Line 7 but also to a nearby mini-bus base, which serves boroughs Azcapotzalco and Miguel Hidalgo. Within the station facilities there is a cultural display and an information desk.[2]

Notes
- ^ a b c d e f 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.
