In 2019, the station had an average ridership of 22,891 passengers per day.[4]

Name and pictogram

The station name comes from the Ribera de San Cosme avenue, on which the station is located. The former name of the road was Calzada de San Cosme and a stream used to run along the way before the desiccation of Lake Texcoco, hence the name "ribera".[2][5]

The station pictogram depicts a balcony from the nearby colonial building known as La Casa de los Mascarones that currently houses the National Autonomous University of Mexico Foreign Languages School.[2][3]

General information

The station was opened on 14 September 1970 as part of the second stretch of Line 2, from Pino Suárez to Tacuba.[6]

The station serves the Colonia San Rafael and Colonia Santa María la Ribera neighborhoods.
