Allende is a station on Line 2 of the Mexico City Metro system. It is located in the Colonia Centro district of the Cuauhtémoc municipality of Mexico City, on Tacuba street west of the main square in downtown.[2][3] In 2019 the station had an average ridership of 28,873 passengers per day.[4]

Name and pictogram

[edit]

The station is named in honor of general Ignacio Allende, one of the principal instigators of the Mexican War of Independence of 1810. This is due to the fact that the station is located near the intersection of the Tacuba and Allende streets. The station's pictogram depicts the bust of Allende.[2]

General information

[edit]

The station opened on 14 September 1970 as part of the second stretch of Line 2, from Pino Suárez to Tacuba.[5]

The station has the peculiar feature that its platforms are not directly connected underground as it is the case with most stations in the system. In order to change platforms at Allende one has to exit the station and cross the street, thus making it necessary to pay the fare again, a feature only shared with Metro Tezozómoc in Line 6.

From 23 April to 24 June 2020, the station was temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico.[6][7]
