That’s correct…Montreal’s system was planned and likely has to be 100% underground because rubber-tired trains won’t work well in a typical Montreal winter. Nobody’s invented a winter-tire for metro trains yet…and now that I think about it, since in Quebec it’s mandatory to use winter-tires, so running a rubber-tired metro outside would probably break the law….technically.
Very nice. I used to live at Avenue Road and Chaplin. I rode the Yonge Line (refuse to use numbers) so often i could fall asleep and know when I was approaching my stop by timing when we were overground or underground.
There is a third track popsition an Kipling but it is not the one at the bus level. That was for an LRT line to the airport. It is north of the platform at Kipling and starts east of the crossover and extends to the end of the tail tracks. It has no track but you can see it easily.
excellent video, i just really wish you had made a map of the subway map with the covered and open sections so that it was easier to visualize, even though i’m well accustomed with the subway map
fun fact: the most "sub" subway system in North America is the Montreal Metro with 100% of the system underground. Toronto is in 2nd place.

Vancouver may soon be third.
"Now, if you're one of the few people who use this Line..." Ooooh, sick burn! :-D

Yes love added chimes
Dad and I used to ride line 1 to Wilson back in the 80s.
Theres also a strong eathen scent in the "underground" sections n of Summerhill.
I was an apprentice when I worked on the Sheppard subway. I hated that job.
Lol the chimes 😂
Most annoying thing ever and way too lud compared to the other parts of the video!
The chimes are funny and appropriate but are also mixed in too loud compared to the narration.
Never saw rhe wave
Numbering the lines seems very New York-esque. I prefer the original names 👴
So do I, but I suppose one mustn't stand in the way of progress or something like that.
Numbering subway lines is inane.
