Exits

There are four exits:

History and construction

Line 4 of the Mexico City Metro was built by Cometro, a subsidiary of Empresas ICA;[4] Consulado Line 4 opened on 29 August 1981, on the first day of the then Martín Carrera–Candelaria service. It is an elevated station;[5] the interstation stretch between Consulado and Bondojito is 892m (2,927feet) long; the Consulado–Canal del Norte section is 884sp=usNaNsp=us long.[6]

Line 5 was built by Empresas ICA;[7] Consulado Line 5 opened on 19 December 1981, on the first day of the service toward Pantitlán station.[8] Northwestern service toward La Raza station started on 1 July 1982.[9] The station was built at-grade level;[5] the Consulado–Valle Gómez interstation is 679sp=usNaNsp=us long, while the Consulado–Eduardo Molina section measures 815sp=usNaNsp=us.[6]

The passenger transfer tunnel that connects both lines is around 400sp=usNaNsp=us long.[10] The station's pictogram depicts a water duct, representing the ducted part of the Consulado River, which runs under the station.[11] Inside the Line 5 station, there are four cultural showcases.[11]

Incidents

According to the system authorities, the Consulado–Valle Gómez section is a common zone of copper wire thefts, which potentially can create fires in the tracks.[12] On 31 July 2018, three railroad cars uncoupled while a train was traveling at the Consulado–Eduardo Molina interstation, with no injuries reported. When the incident was reviewed, authorities found that the nuts that kept the cars together were damaged.[13] After the collapse of the elevated railway near Olivos station on Line 12 in May 2021, users reported the structural damage to other elevated stations, including Consulado station.[14] Mayor of Mexico City, Claudia Sheinbaum, said that the reports would be examined accordingly.[15]
