Metro San Lázaro, metro station in Mexico City
Metro San Lázaro is a railway station in Mexico City serving lines 1 and B of the metro system. It sits underground with multiple entrances near Avenida Fray Servando Teresa de Mier and features four platforms and four train tracks for daily operations.
The station opened in 1969 as part of the early metro network and was designed by Spanish architect Félix Candela with distinctive curved forms. After renovation work from 2022 to 2023, it reopened in October 2023 with a new card system.
The station takes its name from a former train terminal that once operated on this site and served a key route in the region. The station's symbol shows a steam locomotive, linking the modern metro to the railway heritage of the place.
The station is accessible with facilities for wheelchair users and visually impaired visitors. Nearby areas like the Chamber of Deputies and Sonora Market are within walking distance, but bus routes and taxi services are also available for other destinations.
The station connects directly with the TAPO bus terminal, one of the largest transportation hubs for long-distance travel to the southeast and Gulf regions. This makes it a key interchange point for travelers leaving the city.
