The station serves Malate in Manila and is the first station from Baclaran and the last station from North Avenue to lie within Manila city bounds. The station takes its name from the former Vito Cruz Street (present name Pablo Ocampo Sr. Street) which was named after a former alcalde mayor of Pasay ca.1871.
The station is the fifth station for trains headed to North Avenue and the eighteenth station for trains headed to Baclaran.
Vito Cruz station is notorious for its unusually high number of suicide attempts. As a result, the LRTA has imposed a "speed limit" on trains entering stations to deter the number of successful suicides.

Famous quotes containing the word station:
“Say first, of God above, or Man below,
What can we reason, but from what we know?
Of Man what see we, but his station here,
From which to reason, or to which refer?
Thro’ worlds unnumber’d tho’ the God be known,
‘Tis ours to trace him only in our own.
”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
