Francisco Goitia is one of the stations that are part of the Xochimilco Light Rail, belonging to the only existing line of the system. It is located in the south of Mexico City in the borough of Xochimilco.

General information

The station was formerly known as Xochimilco, and was the terminal of the line until the opening of Embarcadero light rail station in 1995. Later, because Embarcadero was actually closer to the Xochimilco city center, Embarcadero was renamed to Xochimilco light rail station, while the original Xochimilco station was renamed Francisco Goitia. The station's current name comes from a nearby street, which was itself named after Francisco Goitia, the Zacatecan painter who lived in Xochimilco during his last years, dying in this location. The logo of this station represents a palette and brush.
