History and construction

above the ground level;[7] the Romero Rubio–Oceanía section is 809 meters (2,654 ft) long, while the opposite section towards Ricardo Flores Magón metro station measures 908 meters (2,979 ft).[10] The station is partially
accessible to people with disabilities as there are
tactile pavings and
braille signage plates.[3] Metro authorities considered adding elevators and access ramps due to the construction of the adjacent shopping center.[4] The station's
pictogram features the silhouette of
Manuel Romero Rubio, the country's
Secretary of the Interior between 1884 and 1895.[3]
Romero Rubio metro station has had subsidance issues. Israel Zamarrón from El Sol de México reported in 2020 sinking and vibrations on the station when trains and heavy vehicles pass under the station.[4] Commuters reported in July 2022 that the station's header was unleveled.[13] The system authorities inspected the station and confirmed that the station was not at risk and stated that it is under permanent monitoring.[14] Since January 2024, the line's elevated stations, including Romero Rubio, have been undergoing overnight repairs to realign and regrade the tracks.[15]
