Préfontaine

The Préfontaine Metro Station, and the whole Metro in Montreal is surprisingly clean and in very good shape. Didn't expect it to be like that. It is a quite convenient way if you need to go from one place to the other quickly. Bus, Taxi or Uber takes longer, especially during rush hour.nnWhen I was the first time in Montreal I bought an OPUS Card for 6$, that I use ever since and the weekly fare for Zine A is 30$. You simply load it on your OPUS card on one if the self service kiosks.

If an OK Metro station with elevators and a convenience store which isn't open on weekends?

Pretty cool metro station ! Love the architecture !

This is a really good-looking station in between two complete turkeys. For one thing, it includes one guaranteed winner - sunlight. A large kiosk, entirely windowed, lets sunlight flood through the great volume down to platform level. The station is no less attractive on the platform level, even under the shadowed areas in tunnel and under the mezzanine level. In the latter, wall panels in vivid rainbow colours liven up the darker area. Resolutely modern light fixtures, whose bright red-orange metal shades repeat the similar materials on the skylights up above, provide a more practical form of illumination. The only real problem is the awful styling of the entrance pavilions, especially the main one on the south side of rue Hochelaga, which sprawls out in Raymond-Préfontaine Park looking for all the world like a giant yellow tractor tread or caterpillar or something of that sort. The glazed roofs also have a tendency to leak. But even there, the attractive concrete decor inside the entrances partially makes up for them. The entrances aside, this station is a modern and exciting space through which to travel.

The place is low with 2 persons and no smile and thanks see you later and have a good day, they always forget the napkin and the sauce and give me the wrong sandwich and never have what you need. I don't know why they exist because l love the foods, thank you.
