History

edit

The station was opened on 20 July 1994.[5]

Metro service at the station was interrupted on 16 December 2006 after an accident in which a passenger fell onto the tracks.[6][7] On 24 July 2007 a boy was born to a passenger at the station.[8] On 26 September 2010 a Line 8 train operator was arrested and fired for drunk driving after an incident in which he opened the doors on the opposite side of the train from the Aculco station platform.[9][10]

From 23 April to 18 June 2020, the station was temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico.[11][12]
