The Cuauhtémoc Station (Spanish: Estación Cuauhtémoc) is a station on the Monterrey Metro.[1][2][3] It is located in the north end of Cuauhtémoc Avenue, in the north side of downtown Monterrey.[1] It opened on April 25, 1991.[1]

Cuauhtémoc station is the most important station on the Metrorrey System, as it serves as the only transfer between Line 1 and Line 2.[1] In the transfer point between lines, this station has stores that range from clothing to mobile phones, it also features a photo gallery on the advancement of the Line 2 expansion works.

This station is named after Cuauhtémoc Avenue, and its logo represents a stylized headshot of Cuauhtémoc, an important Aztec ruler.[1]

This station is accessible for people with disabilities.[1]

In October 2008 after the inauguration of the extended Line 2 by President Felipe Calderón and other dignitaries, ridership on the Monterrey Metro system surged from 260,000 per day to 334,000 per day.[4] Cuauhtémoc, San Nicolás, and Alameda were the stations that saw the greatest increase in passenger use and many riders were delayed before service adjustments could be made.[4]
