History
In 2000, phase one of the TransMilenio system was opened between Portal de la 80 and Tercer Milenio, including this station.
The station is named Calle 72 due to its proximity to the arterial route of the same name.
It serves the demand of the financial district of Calle 72, whose most important building is the Centro Comercial Avenida Chile which is located approximately 350 meters from the station (a Tourist Assistance booth is located at the mall). It also serves the Quinta Camacho, Porciúncula, La Concepción Norte and San Felipe neighborhoods.
On March 9, 2012, protests lodged by mostly young children in groups of up to 200, blocked in several times and up to 3 hours in the trunk stations Caracas. The protests left destroyed and sacked this season of the system.
