It services Lines 5 (the Yellow Line) and B (the {{nowrap|Green-and-Gray}} Line).The station features a combination of elevated and at-grade buildings. Line 5 has one island platform while Line B two side platforms. Oceanía metro station is located between Aragón and Terminal Aérea stations on Line 5, and between Deportivo Oceanía and Romero Rubio stations on Line B.
Oceanía metro station opened on 19 December 1981 with service on Line 5 heading northwestward toward Consulado metro station and eastward toward Pantitlán metro station. Northerly service on Line B toward Villa de Aragón metro station and southwesterly toward Buenavista metro station began on 15 December 1999. The station serves the {{lang|es|colonias}} (neighborhoods) of Pensador Mexicano and Aquiles Serdán.
The station is named after Avenida Oceanía, where it lies, and its pictogram depicts a kangaroo, a representative animal from the continent Oceania.

According to the driver, the train slid due to the rain and hail, as he noticed it, he attempted to brake and later tried to deactivate the autopilot system. As both actions failed, he contacted the Central Control Center to request them to cut the energy. The Center did not reply and, as he realized the train would impact the parked one, he decided to jump out of the cab before the crash.
