This is easily the greatest mass-transit system in Canada and it's not even close. The Metro is fully automated with redundant systems, runs on rubber tires instead of rails so it's faster, smoother and safer and it's completely enclosed. The only time that it comes above ground that I know of is at Agrignon station and even then, it's never exposed to the outside air so you don't get an experience like freezing on the platform of the TTC's Kipling station.
Great quality! Nice roll thru I subbed up now I won’t miss a thing

Le système de métro de Montréal est BEAUCOUP meilleur que celui de New York, c'est sûr ! Des plateformes plus propres, plus passagers polis et plus trains ponctuels.
Montreal's subway or metro system is modeled after Paris metro having rubber tires over metal ones. But they're extremely hot in the summer of it being entirely underground and air conditioning will ruin the tunnels with too much air pressure

Montreal metro is one of the most inaccessible systems I've ever been to. Except the 3-4 interchange stations, none of the others have escalators or even a simple elevator. In many stations, the turnstile is before descending to the track. So if you go to the wrong direction, you have to tap and pay again to go to the correct direction. The entire Western part of the island which is the massive chunk has no metro access, and shockingly even the airport. The second busiest in Canada, and only has a bus connection to downtown. Stifling hot in summers, freezing cold in winters, and a mysterious strong wind draft that hits you when you have yo open the heavy doors of the station entrance manually. A system that seems stuck in the 60s, almost Soviet like in architecture and service alike.
Bruh they almost all have elevators and at the very least there are escalators in every station. It's only hot in the stations, in the trains there's wind/ventilation it's really not that bad. It's not cold at all in the winter lmao. The 747 bus goes directly from Lionel Groulx to the airport, the 211, 405, 411, 425 and 485 all go to Lionel Groulx from the west island. During mornings and afternoon rushes you can get on one of those every 5 minutes and on the weekends it's like every 20 minutes, really it's not that bad living in the west. Also the part about having to pay twice is straight up not true 🤣 I've ridden this metro for years and I've probably gotten off at like 30 different stations and I've never once noticed a station have this issue. Just off the top of my head these are the ones I've been to often: Namur, Lionel-Groulx, Parc, De Castelnau, McGill, Place-des-Arts, Saint-Laurent, Berri-UQAM, Bonaventure, Place D'armes, Papineau, Frontenac, Langelier. Literally all of these have the turnstiles before you choose a direction. Not to mention it's very very simple to see where you're going and there are maps everywhere! And the ones inside the stations will show exactly where it's going and how long it'll take to get there!

The REM will take care of that! 67 km of new rail, though it is light rail and not metro. It is supposed to be grade separated too.

Y does the train have rubber tires
how u do so it makes less noise and improves the quality of living close to a stop in nyc it makes to much noise
Another reason is the ability to climb or descend steeper slopes
Its cause. IDK
Faster acceleration (Montreal's subway goes up to 80km/h - 50mph), better traction on steep hills and generally quieter.
