Côte-Vertu metro garage inaugurated

It’s an engineering work most of us will never see: after five years of work, the Côte-Vertu metro garage was inaugurated Friday, with room to store ten complete metro trains, allowing the orange line to run 25% more trains at rush hour. The construction also includes a stub towards extending the line to Bois‑Franc.

As Mayor Plante is quoted here, before the pandemic the orange line was sometimes called “sardine class” because it could be impossibly overcrowded at rush hour. Not something that’s been a problem recently.
