Name and pictogram

When the station opened in 1970, it was originally named for the street that was in front of the station, Juanacatlán (the name of the street changed and it is now known as Alfonso Reyes, in honor of the Mexican writer, philosopher and diplomat).[6]

The street was in turn named for Juanacatlán in the state of Jalisco. Xonacatlan, means "place of onions" (sometimes mistakenly read as meaning "place of butterflies") in Nahuatl. Therefore, the station's pictogram depicts a butterfly.[2]

General information

The station was opened on 11 April 1970.[7]

The station's building also contains the offices of the Metro workers' trade union, the windows of which depict the front of a metro train.[8][9] This station runs under Avenida Pedro Antonio de los Santos.[2] It serves the San Miguel Chapultepec and Condesa districts.[2]

From 23 April to 23 June 2020, the station was temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico.[10][11]

Notes

  1. 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.
