Santiago Metro Line 2 is one of the six lines that currently make up the Santiago Metro network in Santiago, Chile. It has 22 stations and 20.7 km of track. The line intersects with Line 1 at Los Héroes, with the Line 3 at Puente Cal y Canto, with Line 4A at La Cisterna, with Line 5 at Santa Ana, and Line 6 at Franklin. It will also intersect with the future Line 7 at Puente Cal y Canto. Its distinctive colour on the network map is yellow.

In 2015, Line 2 accounted for 18.8% of all trips made on the metro with a daily ridership of 325,400.

History

The first section on Line 2 opened to the public on March 31, 1978[1] running between Los Héroes station and Franklin station. Later the same year, in December, the next section opened running between Franklin station and Lo Ovalle station.

In 1987, two new stations opened at the line’s northern end, Santa Ana and Puente Cal y Canto. Much later, on September 8, 2004, two further stations opened to the north, Patronato and Cerro Blanco. These stations marked a new feat in Santiago and overall Chilean engineering by building under the Mapocho River and the Costanera Norte freeway. That year, the line was also extended to the south with the opening of La Cisterna station.

Another section opened in the north on November 25, 2005, running from Cerro Blanco station to Einstein station. Finally, on December 22, 2006, the most recent three stations opened: Vespucio Norte, Zapadores and Dorsal.

On October 26, 2009, the express service began to run on Line 2, stopping at certain stations only at peak times, allowing for faster journeys. Since 2009, the Municipality of San Bernardo and the Santiago Metro are rallying for a future extension of Line 2 to the south, running from La Cisterna to San Bernardo’s main square. The extension will include several new stations which will benefit people living in southern Santiago, especially in the towns of El Bosque and San Bernardo.

On November 2, 2017, line 6 was inaugurated, intersecting line 2 with line 6 at Franklin station.

On July 30, 2019, the construction of the L2 extension began, where 4 new stations will be added, which will be operational by 2022, where the El Bosque and San Bernando communes will arrive.[2]

Communes served by Line 2

This line serves the following communes from North to South:

Tren Expreso (Express Service)

Line 2 - Santiago Metro

The express service[3] works during peak hours and allows trains to stop at alternate stations, reducing the number of stops and the duration of journeys. The stations on the line are divided into “green route” stations, “red route” stations and “common” stations (Spanish: estación común), where all trains stop and allow passengers to switch between red and green routes. The express service works from Monday to Friday, between 6am - 9am and 6pm - 9pm.
