This major transfer station is horrible in the mornings. It is located in El Barrio Universitario (the university neighborhood) which is exactly what it sounds like. Lots of of students and lots of universities.
Because this metro station is right in the middle of the University neighborhood lots of students are going to and from this metro station in the mornings. If you get on the metro here around 7:30 am you should be fine. Anything after 7:30, between 8 am and 10am and be ready to wait for the mad rush of people getting on and off the metro.
Besides the terrible rush hours this metro station is super convenient as it connects the red line with the yellow line. In fact it is one of the few metro stations that transfers to the yellow line. Be careful not to get lost in this metro station as it is one of the bigger ones in Santiago. read more
