Station list

North route

South route

Since the route has a complex route with several one-way stations, the following table will start at the Buenavista Terminal Station and follow an eastward flow until reaching the San Lázaro Terminal Station, then follow the route westward culminating with the 20 de Noviembre station.

Replacement of stations

On November 28, 2022, five eastward bus stops were removed. Mercado de Sonora, La Merced, Mercado Ampudia, Las Cruces Norte and Museo de la Ciudad stations were relocated southbound due to traffic jams caused by their location in the market area of the historic center of the city.

Operator

Conexión Centro-Aeropuerto, SA de CV (CCA) is the sole operator of Line 4.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Mexico City Metrobús Line 4” as bus rapid transit line. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2011, 2012, 2006, 2022—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2012. The account is most persuasive where Mexico, City and Metrobús can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as bus rapid transit line. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q56064456. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2011, 2012, 2006 and 2022.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. 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

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
