History
[edit ]Line 6 was opened on 21 December 1983, in the section that goes from El Rosario, serving the estate Unidad Habitacional El Rosario -the biggest estate in the country, to Instituto del Petróleo. The latter became the first transfer station when it was connected to the already existing station of Line 5.
Three years later, on 8 July 1986, the second stretch of the line was inaugurated: from Instituto del Petróleo to Martín Carrera, connecting with Line 4.
According to the Mexico City Metro Plan published in 2018 by the Sistema de Transporte Colectivo, Line 6 would be expanded from Martín Carrera eastbound towards Villa de Aragón station of Line B. This extension would have a length of 5.69 km (3.54 mi) and five new stations.[3]
