General information
Metro Hidalgo's name and logo evoke Miguel Hidalgo, the chief instigator of the Mexican War of Independence of 1810, after whom the nearby avenue is named.[2][3] The station's icon depicts the profile of Hidalgo.
Metro Hidalgo was opened along Line 2 on 14 September 1970.[4] Service along Line 3 started on 20 November 1970.[4]
The station also connects with trolleybus Line "LL", which runs between this metro station and the Colonia San Felipe de Jesús district.[5] The station has an information desk, facilities for the handicapped, and a cultural display.[2]
The station is also close to Paseo de la Reforma, an important avenue that crosses downtown Mexico City and leads to Chapultepec Park.[6] Some of the station exits are located on the west end of the Alameda Central, a large ornamental park.[2][7][8] On the east end of the Alameda stands the Palacio de Bellas Artes.[9] On the west end, near Metro Hidalgo, is the Museo Mural Diego Rivera.[10]
The nearby shrine to Saint Jude becomes a place of pilgrimage the 28th of each month.[11][12]

Notes
- 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.
