Name

The name of the station was chosen based on the former name of Ion Mihalache Avenue – 1 Mai Avenue. This has proven controversial - firstly, because most inhabitants associate "1 Mai" with the 1 Mai Market located almost 3 km away from the metro station and secondly because the name 1 Mai Avenue had been already given to another street in Western Bucharest when the subway station opened. Incidentally, that avenue will also probably host a metro station in the future.
