History

Although part of the Original Network, This station was opened to the public 2 months after the initial network. This station provided itself as the eastern Terminus of the Green Line until 1976, when the line was extended east to Honoré-Beaugrand. Before the opening of the metro, The area around the current station was used a big terminus for a lot of the downtown routes. Beforehand, it once served as a major Tramway Terminus.

The design of the station is quite simple with brown tiles on the floor and beige ones on the wall. In 1999 a new redesign was done by Bisson and in 2005, another major update was done in order to improve the station look.
