Scenes from the Montreal Metro (Métro de Montréal)

[@VicAndRoll]

When we immigrated, our first stop was Montreal in 1989. Even though we only stayed there for one year and I was quite young, I still remember the trains with tyres. This is a really good metro system.

[@Simon-Andersen]

It's one of the best in North America for sure. I enjoyed my brief visit

[@VicAndRoll]

@@Simon-Andersen I now reside in Vancouver and there's something called Skytrain. The train system is OK because population density isn't so high, but definitely not as good as metro. There's also a new train line built for the 2010 winter Olympics that runs from airport to downtown, and it's already not sufficient, they didn't plan for the population growth.

I live in Montreal and I just wanted to let you know that I've been watching this video at least twice a day because my two year old daughter LOVES the metro 😂❤️ so thank you so much for this video, it's been making her day, every day, for months.

[@Simon-Andersen]

I am so happy to hear that, thank you so much 😊

[@flowerking3848]

merci pour cette tres intéressante découverte du reseau de montréal.......

[@Tony-21775]

Le sons des métro MPM-10 et MR-73 sont tellement satisfaisants

[@RIUUI007]

Everything is so clean 🤩 And the length of the Metro seems to be a lot longer than other cities.

[@abeekuworldchanger380]

seems so long, clean and nice. Hoping to visit Montreal this summer

[@justinbourget1560]

Bienvenue à Montréal :)

[@lynxoflight72]

visited Montréal a couple times, and its definitely a very nice city. The Metro is pretty good even though the rubber tires can be quite noisy.

[@SaraHouck461]

I actually took this mass transit system during a dream vacation to this particular city I took last month to celebrate my 36th birthday, even though it was unfortunately rainy. I’m just glad I got to purchase a very fitting umbrella from any of the gift shops! After all, the slogan for the province of Québec where Montréal is located isn’t “Je me souviens” for nothing! In fact, the trip was originally slated for my 35th last year, but things unfortunately got in the way when my sister Erin accidentally lost her passport. This obviously resulted in a change of plans that had to be limited to domestic travel, with Hersheypark in the state of Pennsylvania turning out to be the end result.

[@darkValkoinnen]

The sounds of the MR-73 and the MPM-10 are identical to the NM-73 and the NM-02 of the Mexico City subway !!!

[@matstrungdang4597]

Aj spændende! Tak fordi du lavede en video om min hjemmeby

[@Simon-Andersen]

Så lidt, Montreal er en fed by :-)

[@SigmaRho2922]

The MPM-10 trains were originally planned to have air conditioning but this feature was ultimately limited to the driver’s cab as the tunnel size is too small to accommodate air conditioned trains. The REM trains will be the first trains in Montreal with air conditioning once the line opens as the tunnel size is large enough.

[@SigmaRho2922]

And also there are too few ventilation stations for the metro as well.

[@mikeamber2528]

Well, the REM isn't part of the metro system and won't be managed by the STM.

[@rick14891]

Dawnn the MR-73 at 7.29 the current chopper is very loud wow what a sound :O

Wow, le système de métro de Montréal est BEAUCOUP plus propre que celui de New York !!! Les trains sont plus efficace aussi.

[@etbadaboum]

Hopefully you'll be able to ride the REM soon enough too!

[@Itsmealex-r7s]

I live im montreal and it's been sooo long i did not go to the montreal metro. But the is a field trip we are go on the metro:)

[@TheloniousJackson]

Is the Montreal Metro completely underground?

[@Simon-Andersen]

Yes

[@AthensTransporterGR]

This is what metros should look like in the us not like some old dirty toasters

[@G0UDIE]

7:05 _Lui j'le sentais pas... Faut qu'tu sentes une vibe..._ (bravo à ceux qui auront la ref)

[@rogerbelanger6712]

I lived in Montréal all my life and took the Métro very often. I never heard that metal noise when the train gets or leaves the station. What recording mic do you use ? do you greate this sound in your Montage ?

[@Simon-Andersen]

I just use my phone, i've done no changes to the sound so its just the way its been picked up by the mic on my phone

[@rogerbelanger6712]

@@Simon-Andersen It would be a plus to use an external mic

[@matstrungdang4597]

The metal sound has always been there. 😉

[@rogerbelanger6712]

are you talking of the da da da sound ? If that is what you refer to, that is NOT a metal sound it is the 3 phase of the starting electric motor and since the new rams have different technologies compared to the 1966 tech this sound does no longer exist. Since the public associated the sound of the doors closing, the STM decided to reproduce the sound electronicly. @@matstrungdang4597

[@rogerbelanger6712]

I do not think that using the phone microphone is adequate since it is meant for voice and amplifies the high notes. I never heard such metal noises and in all the videos made by tourist NEVER have I heard that sound@@Simon-Andersen

[@tonyplowman7499]

The Montreal Métro network carries approx 1.400.000 passengers a day - a lot more than the 750,000 odd mentioned in your video

[@Simon-Andersen]

Hi Tony, maybe i got the data for round trips? I used the numbers i could find on the American Public Transport Association from Q2 2022 :-)

[@PeevedLatias]

@@Simon-Andersen 750k sounds about right for pandemic numbers, 1.4m is pre-pandemic.

[@jjpcorona]

How long are each of the cars of a Montreal Metro train? I'm guessing 20 meters, and the trains appear much longer than those on the Paris Metro...

[@Simon-Andersen]

The entire train is 152 meters across 9 cars so about 16-17m pr car :-)

[@waltershan]

Where is the conductor?

[@Simon-Andersen]

Most metros dont have them?

[@martinlafrance3168]

Tu aurais aimé faire des ride de métro 😊

[@natedinnerplate8796]

Quelle station à 8:54?

[@Simon-Andersen]

Atwater entrance on Boul. de Maisonneuve Ouest :-)

[@pronosur2806]

Bonjour la STM. Si vous cherchez un conducteur de métro je serai bientôt disponible à Montréal . J'ai 12 ans de conduite à la RATP (métro parisien) et je viens m'installer chez vous en 2025. Si intéressé laissez moi un MP

[@giordankaelebavenido]

A Montreal Train Metro with a subway I ride it today

[@Sergio-oi4ud]

Este metro si está limpio las instalaciones y los trenes no como el de México que ya se cae a pedazos y lleno de vendedores ambulantes tanto en los vagones como en las afueras de las estaciones mis respetos Canadá 🤔👍

[@NonstopEurotrip]

😜 Metro 🚇 boi 😜

[@markvogel5872]

Where is the toilet check?!!!

[@machinemant4]

Yeah I am in Montreal but

[@hectoralvarado9359]

In NY if the subway was not run by unions or the way they have the system,it would be much better. Sure it is an old system,but they have spent more on other idiotic things. Not to mention it :but Forest Hill station in Queens,NY so called a command center for monitoring the trains that come in and go. It is Solomon filthy and dirty. I mean the platforms they never clean them. Where is the management? They have them sure,all they do is sit there or stand. People also just throw things on the floor. Other place turnout the world have a better subway/Metro system.

[@theTomaMato]

In camera it looks beautiful, but in reality it's ugly and dirty. And some stations are very dark.

[@Billymays618]

STM metro is dark, creepy and outdated and filled with homeless and crime

[@hankhull3838]

As-tu une version française ?
