Source-derived summary

Bondojito is a metro station along Line 4 of the Mexico City Metro. It is located in the Gustavo A. Madero borough of Mexico City.

General information

The station logo depicts a cactus, and its name refers to the Otomí word of Bondo, that means, in fact, cactus. In the zone where station stands existed big plantations of cactus (locally known as nopales).

This station transfers to "G" trolleybus line, which runs between Metro El Rosario and Metro Boulevard Puerto Aéreo.

Bondojito serves the Colonia Bondojito and Colonia Tablas de San Agustín neighborhoods. It stands over Avenida Congreso de la Unión.

From 23 April to 14 June 2020, the station was temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “metro station in Mexico City” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6824506. Authority coordinates are 19.465, -99.112. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2020.

Critical limits

A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
