Tasqueña (sometimes also spelled Taxqueña) is a station on Line 2 of the Mexico City Metro system.[2] It is located in the Campestre Churubusco neighborhood, within the Coyoacán borough of Mexico City, directly south of the city centre on Avenida Tasqueña and Canal de Miramontes.[2] It is a surface station and the southern terminus of the line.[2] In 2019, the station had an average ridership of 83,463 passengers per day, making it the seventh busiest station in the network.[3]
General information
The station's name comes from Avenida Tasqueña, which in turn was taken from Taxco, Guerrero, an important silver mining town during the colonial period. The station icon represents a crescent moon.
Tasqueña connects Line 2 with the Xochimilco Light Rail line, which runs from this station to the borough of Xochimilco. It also connects with two trolleybus lines: route A, running between Tasqueña and Metro Autobuses del Norte, north of the city, and route K, running between Ciudad Universitaria (UNAM's main campus) and the San Lorenzo Teconzo campus of the Universidad Autónoma de la Ciudad de México (UACM).
Metro Tasqueña also serves Mexico City's southern bus depot, which serves important cities like Cuernavaca, Acapulco, Taxco, and the rest of southern Mexico.
The station has four hexagonal murals from Alberto Castro Leñero: "Fuego", "Aliento", "Azul" y "Horizontal". Each mural is 11 meters high and 3 meters wide. The murals are made of pieces of talavera and polychromatic ceramic.[4]

Notes
- ^ a b c 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.
