It has a moderate flow of passengers, being placed in a residential-industrial area. The flow of passengers has grown since 2004, due to a nearby intercity bus station serving Valparaíso, Viña del Mar, Quilpué, Curacaví and the Arturo Merino Benitez international airport.

Near the station there are the Chilean Investigations Police school, and the grounds of an old amusement park, Mundomágico, which has become the Cultural Center of Lo Prado city.

In 2009, one of the platforms was partially demolished to make way for a third track, which made necessary the partial rebuilding of the station east of its original location. The project included an additional street-level mezzanine. The central track is currently[ when? ] used for reversing the direction of trains.

Etymology

The name of the metro station comes from the Pajaritos avenue, placed near the station.
