Chabacano is a station on Lines 2, 8 and 9 of the Mexico City Metro system.[2][3][4][5][6] It is located in the Cuauhtémoc borough of Mexico City, south of the city center, on .[2]

History[]

Chabacano means apricot in Mexican Spanish.[7][8] When Mexico City was expanding south towards (now tubed under the Viaducto Miguel Alemán)[9] city planners decided to name an avenue after the fruit that grew prodigiously next to the shore of the river. The same name was later on applied to the metro station that was built under the bridge made by Chabacano Avenue when it crosses above the Calzada de Tlalpan.[8]

Chabacano was the first station on the Mexico City Metro to make use of a third, central platform for descending while the other two on the sides are used for ascending. This system was first used in the Barcelona Metro and is sometimes called the Spanish solution.

The station has several cultural displays and a small public library. There is a couple of mosaic murals on the side of the station belonging to Line 9.[2]

Scenes for the 1990 motion picture Total Recall were filmed in the corridors of Metro Chabacano; a fake blood spot still remains in a roof.[10]

On 28 December 2010, an elderly passenger tried to help two others who had dropped items onto the tracks fell onto the tracks himself and was killed by an approaching train on line 2.[11][12]

In recent years, the station and surrounding area have become a popular location for the purchase and sale of used and vintage clothing, particularly on weekends.[13]
