Tepalcates is a station on the Line A of the Mexico City Metro.[2][3] It is located in the Iztapalapa municipality, to the east of downtown Mexico City.[2] In 2019, the station had an average ridership of 19,326 passengers per day.[4]

Name and pictogram

[edit]

The station takes its name from the nearby estate Unidad Habitacional Tepalcates. The name has its roots in the Nahuatl word "teplacatl" used to refer to any pot or vessel made out of clayormud. The pictogram depicts the side view of a pre-Hispanic pottery bowl of the types made in Puebla and Tlaxcala.[2]

General information

[edit]

The station was opened on 12 August 1991 along the other nine stations of Line A.[5]

Metro Tepalcates connects with the bus rapid transit stop of the same name of the Mexico City Metrobús Line 2; this stop is the eastern terminus of Line 2.

As every Line A station, except for Pantitlán, it is an at grade station in the median of Calzada Ignacio Zaragoza with the entrances on both sides of the road connecting to the station through two pedestrian bridges. Due to the design of the station, it has an island platform where passengers can take trains in both eastbound and westbound directions.
