The good: Lots of space on main floor. Links to stores, a shopper's heaven station. Links to other major buildings. Sometimes has events on main floor. Security officers often visible.

A few homeless people there. McGill is the station to go yo if you are out shopping. Make sure you know where you are going before heading somewhere.

This station, like many others, was opened in 1966 as a much-needed system ... for not only the citizenry but for the stampede of tourists who would come for the 1967 World's Fair and 1976 Summer Olympics. It ain't a pretty station, a bit dated in its design, but Métro Saint-Laurent sure gets the job done! First, it is located in the Ville-Marie arrondissement (borough) in the heart of the city. While there are a zillion ways to get from place-to-place in the city, Métro Saint-Laurent puts you a 5 minute walk to one of the epicenters of North American comedy: Just for Laughs. It's a 15 minute walk to Old Montreal and within a few blocks from Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM). It's also a short walk to Notre-Dame Basilica (15 minutes), MAC Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal (5 min.), Quartier des Spectacles (a block), and Parterre du Quartier des spectacles (less than a block). This side-platform station serves the green line -- and is one stop away from Métro's epicenter, Berri-UQAM (home of the green, orange, and yellow lines). You'll find trains riding every 5 minutes or so, so you don't necessarily have to sprint to catch your ride. I also like some of their cool features. They have a 38-bike Bixi dock (Montréal's bike-share program). You'll also find some cool murals on the platform by the late, great Claude Vermette. If you have to get to downtown Montréal, I highly recommend coming and going via Métro Saint-Laurent! MY MEDIOCRE FRENCH TRANSLATION: Presque toutes les stations de métro de Montréal doivent être prises avec le grain de sel utilitaire dans lequel elles ont été créées. Cette station, comme beaucoup d'autres, a été ouverte en 1966 en tant que système indispensable ... non seulement pour les citoyens, mais aussi pour la ruée vers les touristes qui viendraient à l'exposition de 1967 et aux Jeux olympiques d'été de 1976. Ce n'est pas une jolie station, un peu vieillotte dans sa conception, mais Métro Saint-Laurent fait le travail! Tout d'abord, il est situé dans l'arrondissement Ville-Marie, au cœur de la ville. Métro Saint-Laurent vous permet de vous rendre à l'un des épicentres de la comédie nord-américaine, Just for Laughs, bien qu'il existe d'innombrables façons de se déplacer d'un endroit à l'autre de la ville. C'est à 15 minutes à pied du Vieux-Montréal et à quelques rues de l'Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM). La Basilique Notre-Dame (15 minutes), le Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal (5 min.), Le Quartier des spectacles (un pâté de maisons) et le Parterre du Quartier des spectacles (moins d'un pâté de maisons) sont également accessibles à pied. Cette station à plate-forme latérale dessert la ligne verte - et se trouve à un arrêt de l'épicentre de Métro, Berri-UQAM (domicile des lignes verte, orange et jaune). Vous trouverez des trains toutes les 5 minutes environ, vous n'avez donc pas nécessairement besoin de faire du sprint pour prendre votre train. J'aime aussi certaines de leurs fonctionnalités intéressantes. Ils ont un quai Bixi de 38 vélos (programme de vélos en libre-service de Montréal). Vous trouverez également quelques superbes peintures murales sur la plate-forme du regretté Claude Vermette. Si vous devez vous rendre au centre-ville de Montréal, je vous recommande vivement d'aller et venir par métro Saint-Laurent!

For the past three years, there's all kinds of construction around this station, still it is convenient to rue St Denis and Rue Berri (on the southern ends).

As you get out of the main door, you will be on rue Viger, very close to rue St Denis, rue Berri, rue St Laurent, etc.

The bad: Can get busy and crowded sometimes. Has a lot of homeless people hanging/sleeping there. You can easily get lost and go out the wrong exit. I love Bonaventure.

There are several exits that lead to UQAM (University), library, bus terminus or streets. I strongly suggest to wash your hands and your phone after walking through there. There could be times that the escalator doesn't work which could be tough for people who can't walk up or down the stairs. It's usually clean in terms of not much litter on the ground. There are janitors always around. As well, this station doesn't smell unless it's the elevators to the ground exit. It could smell like marijuana or urine. A plus is it one of the stations that starts the earliest and go sober the latest. It's great of you don't want to take a taxi or Uber . You will see homeless people inside asking for money but they aren't disruptive. They also may be sleeping, drinking or smoking.

There's a large space for gatherings at the entrance of the mezzanine area, as well as a secondary access to the Angrignon platform, which allows the station to handle very large crowds from the Olympic Stadium. The mezzanine gives direct underground city access to the Stadium. The station has two exits of its own, one incorporated into the stadium's parvis, and another across the street. Pie-IX station is located in the borough of Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve today, it not only serves the Olympic Stadium and the Olympic Park, but it is also the stop for the Botanical Gardens, Olympic Park, the Biodome, the Rio Tinto Alcan Planetarium, le Château Dufresne - Musée des arts décoratifs de Montréal, le Collège de Maisonneuve and the Olympic Village.

There are dozens of shops and restaurants, as well as bars and bakeries. Many festivals occur in this area, which is pedestrian for much of the summer months.

The metro station is actually very clean, quiet, yet quite busy and active in the morning. I wish we had started taking the Metro earlier in our trip as we would've made this the go-to form of transportation as it was quite cheap compared to what you would pay in America. Instead of getting a one-day or three-day unlimited pass, we decided to get direct one time route passes at $3.25 Canadian per pass. The trains get you to your destinations fast and the whole experience is great. The trains are quite modern, new, and clean. We found that the stations were very quiet and the ridership very courteous, polite and friendly (versus what you experience in America).
