Iglesia del Carmen metro station explained
Iglesia del Carmen is a Panama Metro station on Line 1.[1] It was one of the metro network's first 11 stations, opened on 5 April 2014 and commencing operations the following day.[1]
The station is named after the nearby neo-gothic church. It serves the neighbourhood of Bella Vista, providing access to the city's financial and banking district and the nightlife and restaurant zone of Calle 50.[2]
In its first year of operations, it was the fifth most used station of the twelve on the network at that time, carrying 18% of the system's users at peak times.[3]
Iglesia del Carmen is seen as a key interchange station in the plans to expand the metro, as it will connect line 1 with the future line 2 and line 5.[4]
