The station's logo is the logo of the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana campus Iztapalapa, which is close to the station.[2] The station was opened on 20 July 1994.[4] Until September 1996 this station was known as La Purísima, the name of the street where it is located.[2] The previous logo was the silhouette of the Virgin of Guadalupe.[2]

Curiosities

Although the name of the station has changed, you can appreciate on the platforms the murals depicting La Purísima. That is, as the station was opened with that name, and until being renamed UAM-I, still keeps design iconography and original name.

gollark: Try a text editor app.
gollark: I could get unlimited, but it would cost something like £5/month more so I don't.
gollark: There's even an option to opt out of CGNAT, which seems to have worked.
gollark: For all BT's problems, they seem to at least have usable hardware (although the webUI is quite esoterically designed, it seems - it uses angular and some accursed thing which sends/receives form-encoded JSON containing XML), be fairly reliable, and offer IPv6 and such.
gollark: I know some unlucky people using such an internet connectivity provider.
