Titan is a metro station in Bucharest located in the Titan district. The station services the now rather obsolete shopping center[which?], the large Titan Park and the district's dense population. The station was opened on 28 December 1981 as part of the second phase of Line 1 between Timpuri Noi and Republica.[1]
The station is an open-vault metro station, the largest without any support pillars on the network. To facilitate construction, impressive efforts had to be done: the soil was frozen for 90 days, and the technology used to make it was also one of the few technologies imported from other countries to construct the metro.
