Montreal
subway, planned light rail
Montreal's 4 metro lines total 66 km and 65 stations. The system was
opened in 1966 and is completely underground.
The Montreal Metro was the first metro in the world to run completely
on rubber tires. Because of Montreal's severe winters and the system's
unusual design, the system is entirely underground. The only place in
the system where the cars ever see light is at the connecting tracks
between metro Parc and Sauvé.
A 12.9 km
light rail
line is in the preliminary design stages. It
would run along Park Avenue through the Mile End neighborhood, from the
Jean Talon Metro station to Old Montreal. Another light rail plan under
discussion is a link between Montreal and Brossard over the Champlain
Bridge.
A tourist
monorail
has also been proposed for Montreal, but the proposal has not been
approved.
