Key Information
Name and pictogram
[edit]The station name refers to the nearby Escuela Normal de Maestros, an academy for elementary school teachers, often referred to simply as Normal, hence the station designation as Normal. The station pictogram depicts a stylized design of the tower of the Normal main building inaugurated in 1947 by Jaime Torres Bodet, then Minister of Education of Mexico.[2][3][5]
History
[edit]The station opened on 14 September 1970 as part of the second stretch of Line 2, from Pino Suárez to Tacuba.[6]
Corpus Christi Massacre
[edit]On 10 June 1971, riot police clashed with students who were protesting against the Mexican government in the vicinity of the metro station. Nearly 120 protesters were killed, among them a fourteen-year-old boy.[7] The massacre was depicted in the 2018 Academy Award-winning film Roma.[8]
The station has pictures and testimonies about the massacre on the walls, as well as a memorial plaque unveiled in 2001 by Mexico City's government.
General information
[edit]The station is located on the Calzada México-Tacuba and serves the following neighborhoods: Colonia Tlaxpana, Colonia Un Hogar para Nosotros and Colonia Agricultura. In 2019, it was the fourth busiest station in Line 2.

[edit]Notes
[edit]- ^ a b c The data here is limited to the most recent ten years to avoid excessive listings; earlier figures can be found in this page's history or on the Mexico City Metro website. To calculate the average daily ridership, the annual total is divided by 365 days (366 in leap years), with decimals omitted from the result. Each station per line is ranked individually, as the system counts transfer stations separately. The percentage change is calculated automatically using the data from the current year and the previous year.
