Berri-UQAM station is a Montreal Metro station in the borough of Ville-Marie, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is operated by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) and is the system's central station; the Green and Orange Lines pass through it, and the Yellow Line terminates there. It is located in the Quartier Latin.
Berri-UQAM is the 2nd deepest station in the network, and the only one to have 3 lines stacked on each other. Berri-UQAM is also the busiest station in the network, transfers not included. If transfers were included, the 13 million passengers number would rise to about 35-40 million a year.
Designed by Longpré and Marchand, the station serves three lines: the Green, Orange, and Yellow lines.
The main part of the station is a cruciform cut and cover volume built underneath the intersection of rue Berri and boul. de Maisonneuve; the volume is so large that the station's design had to include massive pillars to support the street.
This central volume contains three levels. The upper level contains the rectangular mezzanine at its centre, with fare gates on all four sides; the arms extend out to the station's entrances, with two more entrances at the crossing, and are also lined with shops and services.
Staircases lead from the mezzanine to the landings on either side of the Orange Line. These landings provide views of the great volumes over the Green Line platforms below.
