Velódromo is a metro station located on Line 9 of the Mexico City Metro.[1] [2] It is named after the nearby Agustín Melgar Olympic Velodrome, or bicycle-racing venue, built for the 1968 Summer Olympics that were held in Mexico City.[1]

Velódromo is an elevated station built at the portion of Line 9 that branches away from Viaducto Río de La Piedad to followEje 3 Sur (Avenida Morelos) when travelling west toward Metro Tacubaya. The station opened on 26 August 1987.[3] The logo for the station shows the silhouette of a bicycle racer.[1] It serves the Jardín Balbuena and the Granjas México neighborhoods.[1]

Local bus service to the station includes trolleybus line S of STE, which runs west to Metro Chapultepec along the arterial thoroughfares known as Eje 2 Sur and Eje 2A Sur and is one of two high-frequency trolleybus lines that STE calls "Zero-Emissions Corridors".[4]

From 23 April to 15 May 2020,[5] the station was temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico.[6]
