Location

Misterios is a metro station located along Río Consulado Avenue, in northern Mexico City. The station serves the colonias (Mexican Spanish for "neighborhoods") of Peralvillo, in Cuauhtémoc,[1] and Vallejo, in Gustavo A. Madero.[2] Within the system, the station lies between La Raza and Valle Gómez stations.[3]

The area is serviced by Line 7 of the Metrobús system at Misterios bus station, a few blocks away;[4] by Line 4 (formerly Line G) of the trolleybus system,[5] by Route 20-A of the city's public bus system,[6] and by Route 200 of the Red de Transporte de Pasajeros network.[7]

History and construction

of the Mexico City Metro was built by Cometro, a subsidiary of Empresas ICA.[8] During the early excavations, a road that connected Tenochtitlan with the Tepeyac hill was found in the Valle Gómez–Misterios stretch. The road was built with materials dated from the Mesoamerican Postclassic Period.[9] Misterios is an underground station that was opened on 1982,[10] on the first day of the La Raza–Pantitlán service.[11] The interstation stretch between La Raza and Misterios goes from the street level to the underground one and it measures 892m (2,927feet); the Misterios–Valle Gómez tunnel is long.[12]

The station is named after the nearby,[3] an avenue in Mexico City that connects the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe with the Paseo de la Reforma Avenue. Calzada de los Misterios has 15 hermitages along it. These were built in the 17th century and they reference and illustrate the Mysteries of the Rosary;[13] [14] the station's pictogram represents one of those hermitages.[3]

Originally, Line 8 (which runs from downtown Mexico City to Constitución de 1917 station in Iztapalapa) was planned to run from Pantitlán to Indios Verdes station, in northern Mexico City. The project was canceled due to the potential structural issues it would have caused near the Zócalo zone as it was planned to interchange with Line 2 at Zócalo station.[15] The project of Line 8 was later modified to run from Indios Verdes to Constitución de 1917 station, with a transfer stop at Misterios station. However, its construction did not go beyond Garibaldi / Lagunilla metro station, its provisional terminal since 1994.[16] [17]

Incidents

A train's railway coupler broke on 21 April 2020 near the station.[18] [19] From 23 April to 15 June 2020, the station was temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico.[20] [21] In the Misterios–Valle Gómez tunnel, a train window was ejected and caused a short circuit on 21 February 2021.[22]

Ridership

According to the data provided by the authorities since the 2000s, and before the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on public transport, commuters averaged per year between 8,000 and 8,400 daily entrances between 2013 and 2019; the station had a ridership of 2,953,802 passengers in 2019, which was a decrease of 107,804 passengers compared to 2018. Also in 2019, Misterios metro station was the 164th busiest of the system's 195 stations and it was the line's seventh busiest.
