WE VISITED ALL 68 MONTREAL METRO STATIONS!

For our winter break trip to Montreal, we decided to ride the whole metro system, and stop by/pass through every single station on the Montreal Metro! This took a while, but it was surprisingly fulfilling once it was done. Enjoy!

Cant believe I found a channel on youtube that appreciates metro lines and rapid transit from around the world. Its hard for a lot of us to nerd out about these things in public lmao. you got a new subscriber!

10:45 - Ah, the sound of the MR-63/73! I will never forget those three notes for as long as I live! 13:00 - Agrignon, the only station where the Metro comes above ground!

[@E1337Aaron]

just completed my first full day in montreal and i have to say as someone whos lived in both vancouver and toronto, the montreal subway is probably the best in the country as far as i know, their train cars are so nice. i really love the gentle breeze that hits your face when it moves hahaha

[@maxwellsmith9988]

the Móntreal metro stations are some of the most artistically designed in the world they are fucking gorgeous, and are literally forms of art at this point

[@maxwellsmith9988]

even though we didn't get to see a ton of it in this video

[@AllRequired]

Being a form of art doesn't impress me. It's all about how the stations are handled.

[@peterquelch840]

Love that the new rolling stock kept the Fleur-de-lis color scheme

[@svartmetall48]

I love the "hiss" of the tyres. You really don't hear that much beyond a few systems, and the only one I've been on myself that uses this system is in Paris on a few lines.

[@emmas4336]

I love the door closing tone.

[@rationalraven8956]

I miss the Montreal Metro, so much nicer than the Toronto Subway IMO

[@guldukat2453]

renewer former TO resident here. Winters about the same but more snow than Toronto. Multicultural, depends on how you define it - MTL prob has the most diverse concentration of francophones in the world. And I’d argue that it has more “things to do” in terms of urban and outdoor activities than TO: much more walkable, compact neighborhoods, cheap transit + BIXI bikeshare, affordable housing ($250k for a downtown condo anyone?), not to mention the myriad of cafés bars and restos throughout the city. For a North American city MTL has an extremely unique combination of qualities.

[@guldukat2453]

renewer understand. Have you checked out Québec government’s free French lessons? They are full time classes anybody can sign up for. Also, MTL has a sizeable anglo population with lots of employers seeking English speaking staff (esp tech, ai, startups, etc.). All depends on the industry you’d like to work in.

[@electrostaticat]

The trains in Montreal are more stylish and appear narrower, and they have rubber wheels so no screeching metal wheels as in TO, NYC, which is much more comfortable for your ears. Also, the stations are more interesting and appear to use less tiling, unlike TO and NYC, which lessens the noise? Quebec based Bombardier, makes the trains for both Montreal and TO, I believe and many other metros.

[@guldukat2453]

George Cranston small correction: Bombardier stopped being the sole supplier of rolling stock for Montreal STM quite some years ago. The current AZUR métro cars are jointly produced by Bombardier and Alstom. Also, all rolling stock on the upcoming REM network will be supplied by France’s Alstom (Alstom Metroplis driverless trains); Bombardier was excluded entirely from that project.

[@Koreaforlife314]

I was in Montreal last summer and rode a few lines to tour my friend's favourite Metro stations. Sadly I still haven't gotten around to triaging and posting the photos. At 26:00 or so in it looks like you had the same experience I did at one of the stations, the lighting comes out waaaaay greener on camera than it does to the eyes!

I spent a day once riding the Métro, except I would get off at every station to get a paper transfer back when they had them.

The stations on the Montreal Metro are amazing. Good video!

[@user-po7vf5kl4l]

A Shanghainese metro and rail fan now lives in Montréal. Awesome video. I have already taken ride of all 16 subway lines and the famous maglev in Shanghai in 2017. Also took all 4 lines in Montréal when I arrived here. Very distinctive system, all lines are underground and used the rubber-tire. (Only one line use rubber-tire in Shanghai). I THINK U CANNOT DO THE SAME STAFF on only ONE DAY on a 700-km network in Shanghai.

[@user-po7vf5kl4l]

Reece Martin u r right. Most of the line runs from 6:30 to 22:30. Some specific line would extend their operation time to midnight at weekends.

[@AmelieZh]

Rubber tire 好吗？

[@guldukat2453]

Amélie Zh rubber tire makes the ride more smooth, and also easier maintenance / less wear and tear on the infrastructure

when i went to montreal i went to all the metro stations hehe... i had a blast. i love their system it's pretty fast

great video! I went through all the metro stations at Montreal just before Christmas, next time I need to get out of every station and have a look at the station architecture. There are a lot of interesting station designs in Montreal Metro system.

[@murraymaxwell835]

You know Reece. I also have been on Montreal's Metro. Pretty well all of the Routes too. The one line that was most important to me was to St. Lambert. As I have family in both St. Lambert and St. Hubert. I have also been on the A.M.T. as well. That is the commuter train that goes out to the suburbs. That's a really beautiful train too.

[@murraymaxwell835]

You notice that the Metro runs on rubber tires? That is a very unique feature too.

Apparently the rubber tires are due to the steepness of some of the tunnels, so adopting the system from France made sense.

[@AmelieZh]

I wonder how STM is during peak hours.. can't wait to go back in August. ❤️

What happened @18:53? The train on the opposite platform came in and left while everyone was waiting on your platform?

@@user-po7vf5kl4l But you notice the opposite platform is empty and everyone gets off (except one gentleman that seems to look out, then sit back down). So I take it that is the exit platform.

[@roberthuron9160]

The Yellow line is a shuttle,like the Franklin line,in New York,so there are maybe 3 trains operating,and it depends on line length,and station distances! Reversals are built in,and that line also uses the oldest rolling stock! Remember,the Montreal metro,was built and run in the 1960's,and still looks great,even now!🚇🚇🚉

Québec only has French as an official language. It could be argued in the same way that other transport systems in Canada should have French too, but that will be a long debate.

Plus a lot of people speak English in Montreal so it would be very helpful for the English speaking citizens of Montreal.

Very nice stations but the people here have bad attitudes towards the English just remember we are not Welcome here in Montreal Quebec Canada or anywhere in Quebec why it's a French province and they hate ethics .If you want better to live in Vancouver British Columbia .

[@twyla]

With this mentality you're not helping, it's better to be positive and command respect. Remember that when moving to a country it is YOU who should be learning the customs of the land... example: I'm not going to move to Spain if I don't know Spanish or am not willing to learn Spanish. Same goes here, if you'd like to move here then expect to learn French or be open to learn French! A lot of people seem to forget that Québec has only one official language: Français!

[@peteralbert1485]

Maybe your problem is the way you approach people in Montreal. My wife doesn’t speak French, but she was gracious about it and treated warmly everywhere. She loved the classic Montreal “Bonjour/Hi” greeting she got in stores and restaurants and on transit, which made it clear people were willing to help her bilingually if needed.
