Mixcoac is a station on Line 7 and Line 12 of the Mexico City Metro.[3] The station serves both lines as a transfer station and as the northwestern terminus of Line 12.[3] In 2019, the station had an average total ridership of 54,963 passengers per day.
History
The station opened on 19 December 1985 as part of the third stage of Line 7.[4]
In 2012, with the inauguration of Line 12, Mixcoac became a transfer station, as well as the temporary terminus of the mentioned line.
An extension of Line 12 from Mixcoac to Observatorio is under construction, projected to be finished by 2020. By that time, Mixcoac will no longer work as the western terminus of Line 12.[5]

The station runs deep under Avenida Revolución, a main thoroughfare in Mexico City.[6] [7] It serves the Mixcoac area of the city.[6] There are two main entrances to the station: one in the west sidewalk of the aforementioned avenue and the other in a small plaza between Avenida Revolución, Avenida Patriotismo, Eje 7 Sur Extremadura and Calle Empresa.
Metro Mixcoac serves the following neighborhoods: Santa María Nonoalco, Mixcoac, San Juan and Insurgentes Mixcoac.
Name and pictogram
