Mexico City Metro Lines
Presented below the lines within the Mexico City Metro system, as of 2006, organized by number. The order in which they are listed follows the convention used by Sistema de Transporte Colectivo (the public company that manages the system) to list the stations in north-south and west-east fashion. This system however may not be used by other sources.
In addition to listing all current 195 stations, the opening date of each one of them is also provided, including their type of construction, which can fit in one of three categories: underground, surface ("street-level") and elevated (in form of an elevated viaduct). In total, 127 stations are under ground, 52 are located on street-level and 16 are elevated.

Famous quotes containing the words mexico, city and/or lines:
“I think New Mexico was the greatest experience from the outside world that I have ever had.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“The two elements the traveler first captures in the big city are extrahuman architecture and furious rhythm. Geometry and anguish. At first glance, the rhythm may be confused with gaiety, but when you look more closely at the mechanism of social life and the painful slavery of both men and machines, you see that it is nothing but a kind of typical, empty anguish that makes even crime and gangs forgivable means of escape.”
—Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)
“To understand
The signs that stars compose, we need depend
Only on stars that are entirely there
And the apparent space between them. There
Never need be lines between them, puzzling
Our sense of what is what.”
—John Hollander (b. 1929)
