History
In December 2003, this station was opened before work was even finished on the line running along the Avenida Ciudad de Cali. It was the fifth terminus of the system to be opened.
At first, only red buses of the size of the feeder buses were used at this station. They bore signs reading P.A. or PORTAL AMÉRICAS but did not have a formal route number. In May 2004, after the
Biblioteca Tintal and
Patio Bonito stations were opened, the station began normal operations on one of its three platforms.
