Metro Atwater is one of those metro stations that time hit it hard as now it looks on it's way to be a " poor " metro station.
Since the Montreal Canadiens moved to the Bell Center, this area has went downhill and is becoming a poor area of the city.
The metro, which had originally three exits, now only has one. The Dawson exit, and the Ste-Catherine exit, are permanently closed off. The only existing exit is through the Plaza Alexis-Nihon complex, which can be a puzzle to find the street.
Down at the station, you will find it pretty dark, and pretty small. Which means it could get congested pretty quickly.
Luckily, few people actually get out at this station now, so you do not have to worry about that.
This metro station lost it's glory with time. read more
