Piața Unirii (Union Square) is a major metro station in Bucharest. It is located in the southern part of the city centre, in Union Square (Piața Unirii in Romanian), and it is one of the busiest stations of the Bucharest Metro. It is made up of two terminals, one on the M1 and M3 lines and another on the M2 line, linked by a passage.
Berceni – Piața Unirii on 24 January 1986; Piața Unirii – Pipera on 25 October 1987. A unique station on the Bucharest Metro is Piața Romană, which was shelved from the initial plan. It was built after the opening of the line in 1987, and this can be noticed easily; the platforms are very narrow and the pillars are massive.
Piața Unirii (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈpjat͡sa uˈnirij], Union Square) is the largest square in central Bucharest, Romania, and one of the largest public spaces in Europe, being located in the center of the capital where Sectors 1, 2, 3, and 4 meet.
The station was opened in two stages. Piața Victoriei 1 was inaugurated on 24 October 1987 as part of the line II (now M2 line) extension from Piața Unirii to Pipera, while two years later, on 17 August 1989, Piața Victoriei was opened to the public as part of the line III (now M1 line) from Gara de Nord to Dristor, which later became the terminal section of the line.
2 May 1987: During recovery from the flooding at Piața Unirii the previous day, the tunnel between Timpuri Noi and Mihai Bravu was found fully submerged by the Dâmbovița, possibly in relation to the previous incident. Signalling and other electrical cables were damaged, which further prolonged the repair efforts for the previous incident.
Opened on 24 October 1987 as part of the M2 extension from Piața Unirii, it is the northern terminus of the line. [2] The initial scope of the station was to serve the large Pipera industrial estate. Since the end of industry in Romania however, the station is now used by the new business and residential estates established here.
