Tacuba is a station of the Mexico City Metro.[2][3][4] It is located in the Tacuba district of the Miguel Hidalgo borough, to the west of downtown Mexico City.[2] It lies along Lines 2 and 7.[2][3][4]
The station logo depicts three flowers,[3][4] as its name comes from the Nahuatl language word tlacopan, that which means "land of flowers".[2] It refers to the ancient Tepanec kingdom of Tlacopan that existed in the area in pre-Columbian times.[2]
This transfer station was previously the terminal for Metro Line 2 and opened for service along that line on 14 September 1970.[5] Service was extended westward along Line 2 from Tacuba to Panteones and Cuatro Caminos on 22 August 1984.[5] Line 7 opened up through Tacuba on 20 December 1984.[5] The station transfers not only to Line 7 but also to a nearby mini-bus base, which serves boroughs Azcapotzalco and Miguel Hidalgo. Within the station facilities there is a cultural display and an information desk.[2]
