San Cosme is a station on Line 2 of the Mexico City Metro system.[2][3] It is located in the Cuauhtémoc municipality of Mexico City, northwest of the city centre, on Avenue Ribera de San Cosme a few blocks before it becomes Calzada México-Tacuba.[2] The southern exit leads to Colonia San Rafael while the Northern one leads to Colonia Santa María la Ribera.[2] It is two blocks from the Mercado de San Cosme. In 2019, the station had an average ridership of 22,891 passengers per day.[4]

Name and pictogram

[edit]

The station name comes from the Ribera de San Cosme avenue, on which the station is located. The former name of the road was Calzada de San Cosme and a stream used to run along the way before the desiccation of Lake Texcoco, hence the name "ribera".[2][5]

The station pictogram depicts a balcony from the nearby colonial building known as La Casa de los Mascarones that currently houses the National Autonomous University of Mexico Foreign Languages School.[2][3]

General information

[edit]

The station was opened on 14 September 1970 as part of the second stretch of Line 2, from Pino Suárez to Tacuba.[6]

The station serves the Colonia San Rafael and Colonia Santa María la Ribera neighborhoods.
