Albrook metro station

Albrook station is a below-grade rapid transit station on Line 1 of the Panama Metro system. As of 2024, it serves as the western terminus of Line 1. [1] In the future, it will also function as the eastern terminus of Line 3, a monorail line, making it a key transfer point for the system. Albrook was one of the original 11 stations of the metro network, inaugurated on 5 April 2014. A pedestrian footbridge connects the station to both the city's main intercity bus terminal and Albrook Mall. [1] [2] During its first year of operation, Albrook ranked as the third most-used station in the network. [3]
