Location and layout
Lerma railway station is a commuter railway station located along Boulevard Solidaridad Las Torres, in San Pedro Tultepec, Lerma. It is close to the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana's Lerma campus as well as the Outlet Lerma shopping mall. The station is also the closest to the La Marquesa National Park.
When the station opened, it became a hotspot for street vendors and unregulated taxis. One reporter from El Sol de México counted as many as 60 clandestine stands, more than at any station in the system. Both groups would ask local authorities for support to regularize their sources of employment in the area surrounding the station.
The area is serviced by multiple intercity bus and shared taxis routes, including some that go to the municipalities of Ocoyoacac and Toluca. The station was built above ground level. It has a disabled-accessible service with elevators, escalators, tactile pavings, access rams, braille signage plates, as well as visual signage and auditive announcements.
