Henri Bourassa is one of the oldest station on the initial Network the two rails section Brownish Brick Track 1 go south to Sauvé while Track 2 goes to the Garage St-Charles at Henri-bourassa and can have 8 trains in it . Track 3 in grey which is more recent 2008 and goes to Laval. Track 2 is only use in the evening forcing people going to Laval to transfert to Track 3.
Fun fact: Côte-Vertu was not supposed to be the last station on the line! It wa supposed to go at least two stops further to Bois-Franc. However, budget cuts in the 1980s stopped construction early. I wonder what those extra stations would have looked like...
@@patrickhundley1203 We're always short on funding because our transit projects are ridiculously expensive for various reasons. Maybe they will wait for one transit project to be finnished before starting another. I hope it will get extended soon.
Almost the initial last station was supposed to be Salaberry i.e.: 2 streets North of Bois-Franc (Henri-Bourassa West) but in the early 2000 a plan was to expend the metro from Côte-Vertu to Bois-Franc To connect with the Deux-Montagnes (Commuter Train Line) with another station at Poirier this was supposed to be done with the extension of the blue Line from St-Michel to Pie-IX. In 2010. The Mayor aka as the former King of Laval : Gilles Vaillancourt proposed to continue the west branch of the orange line and both join them at St-Martin (Bd Saint-Martin and Bd Chomedey finishing at Le Carrefour i.e bd Daniel Johnson and bd Le Carrefour.
Du Collège and Côte-Vertu are in the formerly city of Ville-St-Laurent now a Borought the logo on the bench in Du Collège is the symbol of the old city of Ville-St-Laurent. The word in French in the Artwork at Place-Saint-Henri is Bonheur d'Occasion it's the title of a Novel by the French-Manitoba Author Gabrielle Roy where the action of the Novel is in this neighborhood Saint-Henri-(De Westmount) during early World War II.
28:12: Namur was meant to have another entrance at the south extremity, I assume they dropped off because of cost… 30:33 it’s an artwork named “Calcite” I think it’s referring to rock formation or something
Loved every second of this video, funny commentary!

I'm surprised they haven't extended it, seeing how they're doing other transit projects like the rem and blue line extension now

I would say that the Washington Dc metro stole the design from Montreal since the Montreal Station was open at least 10 years before.
Oh man you're so right
