Pantitlán is a station on the Mexico City Metro.^[2] It is located in the Iztacalco borough, to the east of downtown Mexico City. The architects were Aurelio Nuño Morales and Isaac Broid.^[3] In 2019, the station had an average ridership of 397,777 passengers per day, making it the busiest station in the entire network.^[4]

General information[]

The station logo is the silhouette of two flags; this is because Pantitlán means "between flags" in the Aztec language Nahuatl.^[5]

Pantitlán is the most important transfer station on the Mexico City Metro. It is the terminal for Lines 1, 5, 9 and A and has the highest user-traffic of the whole metro system. It is also one of the largest stations in the world, connecting four Metro lines, a trolleybus line (STE route Q), and around a hundred bus lines. It is the closest station to Terminal 2 of Mexico City International Airport, which is a 700 m walk away. Because of its large size and improvised design, it is important to follow the signs to the different platforms. The link with Line A allows Mexico State (Estado de México) inhabitants to travel to Mexico City faster and cheaper than by bus or other kinds of transportation. The station was opened for service along Line 5 on 19 December 1981, along Line 1 on 22 August 1984, along Line 9 on 26 August 1987, along Line A on 12 August 1991.^[6]

Some curiosities are that all Metro lines except for the A and 12 use pneumatic traction (rubber-tired trains) and gather electricity from a third rail; trains on Lines A and 12 use traditional rail traction, and gather electricity with a pantograph, from overhead wires. In addition, scenes for the 1990 motion picture Total Recall were filmed in the corridors and platforms of Metro Pantitlán.^{[citation needed]}
