- Saint-Michel station was inaugurated on June 11, 1986, and welcomed its first passengers on June 16 of that year. At its peak, it recorded around 4.5 million boardings. In 2022, it ranked 18th out of 68 stations in terms of ridership.
- Saint-Michel station has been the eastern terminus of the Blue line since it opened in June 1986, almost 40 years ago. It was originally built as a temporary last stop while the future Blue line was being mapped out.
- Saint-Michel station was designed by architects Roy E. LeMoyne and Michel Lapointe of LeMoyne & Associés. The same firm had previously designed Jarry station on the Orange line.
- On the station platforms, four illuminated panels draw the gaze of commuters. Like large windows in the middle of the vaulted part of the station, these glass panels reveal colourful artworks in four distinct styles by four different artists: Marcelin Cardinal, Charles Lemay, Lauréat Marois and Normand Moffat.
This work was made possible thanks to funding provided by the Ministère des Transports et de la Mobilité durable du Québec.
