North Avenue station is a station on the Manila Metro Rail Transit System Line 3. North Avenue is one of the 11 elevated stations that can be found on the line. The station is located in Diliman in Quezon City and is named after its location, which is at the corner of Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) and North Avenue.
