| Pie-IX
Pie-IX is the 53rd deepest station in
the network and is the 12th busiest. This
station connects to Olympic Stadium and serves the
Olympic Park area along with the Viau station.
Even though Montreal hosted the Olympics in 1976,
this station is still proud of it (never mind that the
city is still in debt from the games!).
Pie-IX has a large kiosk and lots of space for
people to walk to get to the platforms.
I don’t think that the
station is anything great.
It’s too dark and too brown.
What is interesting about this station is that it
was to serve as the southern terminus and transfer point
for the proposed Line 6, which appeared on metro maps as
the "white line" during much of the 1990s.

Just
after the kiosks, this huge area contains the
stairs that lead down to the train platforms. |

The
best part of this station would probably be the
floor tiling. |
