Eugenia metro station[b] is a station of the Mexico City Metro in the city's borough of Benito Juárez. It is an underground railway stop with two side platforms serving Line 3 (Olive Line), between Etiopía/Plaza de la Transparencia and División del Norte. It was opened on 25 August 1980, providing service north toward Indios Verdes and south toward Zapata.

Eugenia metro station services the colonias (neighborhoods) of Vertiz Narvarte and Del Valle, in the intersection of Avenida Cuauhtémoc and Avenida Eugenia. The station's name references the avenue, which in turn honors philanthropist Eugenia Ojeda de Castelló. Its pictogram depicts the silhouette of a stork, a bird associated with fertility, reflecting the meaning of the name Eugenia as "well-born".

Outside, there is the eponymous Metrobús station serving Line 3. In 2025, Eugenia metro station had an average daily ridership of 11,457 passengers, ranking it the 126th busiest stop in the network.

Eugenia is an underground metro station on Line 3 on Avenida Cuauhtémoc in the Benito Juárez borough, in south-central Mexico City. It serves two Colonias ("neighborhoods") of Vertiz Narvarte and Del Valle. The stop has two exits leading onto Avenida Cuauhtémoc: the eastern exit in Colonia Vertiz Narvarte and the western one in Colonia del Valle.[2] Land use in the area is predominantly residential, with local services.[3]

The station lies below the city's Secretariat of Economic Development building.[4] Eugenia is located between Etiopía/Plaza de la Transparencia and División del Norte stations on the line.[2] The area is serviced by the Metrobús bus rapid transit system (Line 3) at the eponymous Eugenia stop.[5]

History and construction

edit

Line 3 of the Mexico City Metro was built by Ingeniería de Sistemas de Transportes Metropolitano, Electrometro, and Cometro, the latter being a subsidiary of Empresas ICA.[6] The section including Eugenia station formed part of a southward extension from Centro Médico to Zapata, opened on 25 August 1980, with service running north to Indios Verdes and south to Zapata.[7] The section between Eugenia and Etiopía/Plaza de la Transparencia station measures 950 meters (3,120 ft), while the opposite tunnel toward División del Norte station is 715 meters (2,346 ft) long.[8]

The station formerly connected to Line O of the trolleybus system, which ran from San Antonio metro station to the Central de Abastos wholesale market.[9]

Name and pictogram

edit

Eugenia metro station is named after the nearby Avenida Eugenia, also known as Eje 5 Sur. José C. Castelló and his family, including his wife Eugenia Ojeda de Castelló, owned a quinta in the area. Ojeda was a philanthropist, and her husband requested that the city government name the street in her honor when the area's nomenclature system was established around 1920 and 1924. Although the Mexico City Metro has other stations named after women – including Isabel la Católica, Santa Anita, or Santa Marta – Eugenia is the only station in the system named after a Mexican woman.[10] It is also the only station whose name is associated with a local person rather than a political or historical figure.[11]

Eugenia means well-born, and the station's pictogram features a stork, a bird traditionally associated with fertility.[12][10] The pictogram was designed by Lance Wyman, and it is one of the few in the system based on a European (specifically Ancient Greek) meaning.[13] As of 2024, the Metrobús station is also one of the few stations named after Latin American women – the others being Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez, Luz Saviñón [es], and Manuela Sáenz.[14]

Incidents

edit

On 8 June 2023, part of the ceiling in the station's corridors collapsed following an afternoon of rain.[15] According to an El Sol de México investigation in June 2024, Eugenia metro station is among the stations with the most sheets and wires used to cover leaks on Line 3, with four in total. At a northbound access, a leak reported in February of that year was patched, but was reported as detached the next month.[16]

Notes

edit
  1. ^ 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.
