    Pueblo Santa Cruz Atoyac–Indios Verdes route

    [edit]

    The route runs from Pueblo Santa Cruz Atoyac to Tlatelolco normally. As soon as it reaches Avenida Manuel González (Eje 2 Norte), the route detours towards Avenida de los Insurgentes. Starting at San Simón, the route shares the same stations Line 1 uses.

    The branch was originally a temporary auxiliary line created to reduce the impact of the Mexico City Metro PCCI fire had on Mexico City Metro Line 3 in January 2021, then it was left permanently. Until 4 August 2023, it detoured at Avenida Mosqueta (Eje 1 Norte) and it serviced Buenavista and Manuel González stations.[15]
