North America's Best Metro System | Montreal Metro Trip Report 

For those who are interested, I have a video out now on Montreal's REM. You can watch it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0_sMrtFogM8.html

Great report! I love the Montreal Metro, definitely the most FUN system I've ridden in North America, especially given the Star Trek-esque trains and architecturally distinct stations

Between 2023 and 2025, the REM line (formerly denoted as Line 3 - Red) will open. It will be the first metro line in Montreal to have air-conditioned trains, and the services will be noted as A, B, and C. Rem de l'Est (which is planned to open in the mid-2030s) will replace lines 6 and 7, which were cancelled in the mid-1980s along with line 3.

Great video! You'll have to come back and do a tour of the new REM that begins opening next Spring!

Hello from Montreal. What we learn when we move here is, where to stand at each metro station, either to one end or another, or in the middle, or (standing at the spot that is going to get you as close to a staircase at the next station as possible), which corresponds to where you wish to get off at your next station. I use this system of where to stand whenever I use the Metro. There are specific cars you stand for (on the platform). You tend to learn how many cars back from either end, that put you right on a staircase at the next station. Because the stations are different, where you stand changes, depending on where you are going. It is a useful lesson to share, once you know your way around, you tend to optimize your trip, instead of walking from one end of the station or the other to get to a staircase or an elevator. (Speaking of elevators) They are adding them to many stations that don't have them. This is an ongoing project across the system. They are also renovating the stations adding either elevators or tunnels (i.e. Vendome Metro Station) Over the past few years they have added a good number of elevators for access for those who need them. And with the REM coming online in the coming months - that is going to add an entire new dimension in getting around the island as well as off island access by rapid transit. Great video by the way. A lot has changed in the Metro System in 20 years. Merry Christmas from Montreal. (where it is -7c and snowing at this hour !!!)

As a Torontonian who was fortunate to call Montreal home for two years, I love this. This makes me miss the city dearly. Time to go back for a visit

Some metro stations are more beautiful than others. Among my favourites are Vendôme, Villa Maria, George Vanier, Charlevoix.

The accessibility into the stations are coming at a slowly pace to eventually be all accessible.

Great video 📹👍 I love riding the Montreal metro subway I find it fun when I'm visiting to ride it 😀😄

The reason why the door is jard to open is because when the metro arrive in the station is make a pression. So to make sur that the door will not open with the pression it s very heavy

Oui, Montréal Québec

It comes down to Montreal, Toronto, and Mexico City for NA's best system. Also, Montreal Metro is very safe at all times.

Thanks for the Nostalgia! I remember the old model, since I was born in Montreal and lived there for like- I dunno, 9 years?

What, no mention of "Dou dou dou"? It is in your video at least 3 times, best heard at Crémazie but also at Laurier and Cartier.

LMAO THE MONSTER BY SEULRENE CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD.. ARE YOU A REVELUV???

Nice video, just wanna point that you forgot to give credit for the thumbnail photo that technically belongs to me! On another note, by 2025, the STM is aiming at making 30 stations fully accessible, making it almost 50% fully accessible, as for the swinging doors, with the current work being done at some stations, most if not all the doors are currently being switched with motorized doors to make it easier to open them! The reason why they are hard to open is due to the piston effect caused by the trains leaving and entering the tunnel at high speeds. Apart for the butchering of the station's names (which in your is quite inevitable since you're from the states) id say this is a very solid and very well made video! One last thing to point; clean your camera lense, it's gonna make your clips looks way better! 😉

Oh no! You didn't get to see the MR-63. I miss them 😢

Montreal is the world's second largest French speaking city.

best video to eat diner with ngl

Did you go to Lionel-Groulx station?? The other busy transfer station

I will take the Montreal rubber tire subway over the so-called "red rocket" in Toronto, any time.

You dead Laval whit the right accent I know because I’m from Laval

I still pay cash fare.

You butchered all the names.

Montreal metro is not the best metro system in North America. Toronto is and is way better

Toronto is has been awarded the best in North America numerous times . Montreal never .

How are thigs?. Super~ excellent sharing~see you later. =))

The only reason you feel like this system is European is because French language, otherwise it would be North America in feel without some of the noise and filth

Typical American, complaining about the heavy swiveling doors to the Metro entrances. Only weak people complain about it, lol. Regardless of that, great review.

Skytrain is cooler imo

odd accent.

Montreal system sucks
