Metro Cuatro Caminos
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Metro Cuatro Caminos (translated from Spanish the name literally means "Four Roads") is a station of the Mexico City metro network. It is the current north terminus of Line 2 and serves as a hub for regional transport from and into the State of México.
As of 14 September 1970 Line 2 originally terminated at Metro Tacuba, but on 22 August 1984 the line was extended an additional two stations to reach the municipality of Naucalpan. The station sits on the dividing line between the Federal District and the neighboring state of México and as such was the first station of the network to be built outside the limits of the Federal District.
The station logo is a large geodesic dome depicting the nearby Toreo de Cuatro Caminos bull fighting ring, where the station takes the name from.
In 2003, the Mexican popular music group Café Tacuba produced an album with the title "Cuatro Caminos" in homage to this part of the city.
