Corredor Sur is a station on Line 2 of the Panama Metro. It opened on 25 April 2019 as part of the inaugural section of the line between San Miguelito and Nuevo Tocumen.[2] The elevated station[3] is built above Avenida Domingo Díaz, near its junction with the Pan-American Highway, locally known as Corredor Sur. It lies between Don Bosco and Las Mañanitas.[2]
On 16 March 2023, a branch of Line 2 known as El Ramal (lit. 'the branch') opened between Corredor Sur and Tocumen International Airport at Aeropuerto.[2] Trains on this branch originate at Corredor Sur, with no through services from the main line.[4] The first stop on the branch is ITSE.[2]
At Corredor Sur, trains to the airport use the center track, while services toward San Miguelito and Nuevo Tocumen use the outer tracks. This arrangement enables cross-platform transfers between both directions of the main line and the airport branch.[4]
