Location and layout

Lerma railway station is a commuter railway station located along Boulevard Solidaridad Las Torres, in San Pedro Tultepec, Lerma.[3] It is close to the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana's Lerma campus as well as the Outlet Lerma shopping mall.[3] The station is also the closest to the La Marquesa National Park.[4]

When the station opened, it became a hotspot for street vendors and unregulated taxis.[5] One reporter from El Sol de México counted as many as 60 clandestine stands, more than at any station in the system.[6] Both groups would ask local authorities for support to regularize their sources of employment in the area surrounding the station.[7]

The area is serviced by multiple intercity bus and shared taxis routes, including some that go to the municipalities of Ocoyoacac and Toluca.[8] The station was built above ground level.[9] It has a disabled-accessible service with elevators, escalators, tactile pavings, access rams, braille signage plates, as well as visual signage and auditive announcements.[10]
