History The works on line 4, which 1 Mai station is part of, started in December 1989 but were stopped because of budgetary deficiencies in 1994.

Initially, the station had a grey-blue colour scheme where the lighter floor and central pillars contrasted with the darker side walls. The floor and pillars are made out of grey and white granite respectively, the ceiling is linear, made of aluminium, the railings are made of aluminium as well while the walls are synthetic and were painted blue.Cancan.ro 2008-07-11 S-a Inchis Statia de metrou 1 Mai https://www.cancan.ro/s-a-inchis-statia-de-metrou-1-mai-14757890 2025-08-19 Cancan ro Compared to the other stations of the segment, 1 Mai station is considerably taller. Several years after the station's opening, the walls were painted in a yellow and dark blue model, without any apparent connection to the already existing architecture. The walls got deteriorated in time because of seepage. In March 2023, the walls were repainted in yellow (although a different shade) and dark blue, but no measure was taken to stop future seepage. Tactile paving was mounted towards the end of 2022 for visually impaired people. Name The name of the station was chosen based on the former name of Ion Mihalache Boulevard – 1 Mai Boulevard.Legenda numelor stațiilor de metrou din Capitală.

Incidentally, that avenue may also host a metro station in the future.
