División del Norte

División del Norte metro station is a station of the Mexico City Metro in the city's borough of Benito Juárez. It is an underground railway stop with two side platforms serving Line 3 (Olive Line), between Eugenia and Zapata. It was opened on 25 August 1980, providing service north toward Indios Verdes and south toward Zapata. División del Norte metro station services the colonias (neighborhoods) of Letrán Valle, Santa Cruz Atoyac, and Del Valle, in the intersection of Avenida División del Norte, Avenida Cuauhtémoc, and Avenida Universidad. The station's name references the avenue, which in turn honors the armed faction of the same name formed during the outbreak of the Mexican Revolution (1910–1920). Its pictogram depicts the revolutionary Pancho Villa riding a horse, who also formed part of the division, whose equestrian statue is nearby the station. Inside, the station features a cultural display showcasing the biographies of numerous Mexican musicians. It also has a karaoke machine and a piano for visitors to use, although it no longer works. There is also a mural titled Encuentro de culturas by Graziella Scotese. Outside, there is the eponymous Metrobús station serving Line 3. In 2025, División del Norte metro station had an average daily ridership of 12,487 passengers, ranking it the 115th busiest stop in the network.
