>>9826421st. Its a one station extension to Pie-IX
2nd. Funding for the REM will no doubt kill any further extensions of the Metro because nomoney
>>982649You simply cannot compare a North American city to a European one. Their entire society is run differently and car ownership rates are far lower. They don't have freeways penetrating right into the hearts of their city centres. And public transport is a way of life there. NYC has the highest rates of public transit usage in North America, higher than Montreal and that is what we should be trying to emulate, not their 30Bn. debt.
Also are you retarded? The 2nd Avenue subway is an entirely new line serviced by the new T train. The Q is simply the first phase. Pic related is what will cost 17 billion.
Some of those stations are over 100 years old no shit there's "paint peeling". I could take plenty of pictures of montreal metro stations in a sorry state and they're all less than 50 years old. Some are in disrepair that were built in the 80s.
The suburban towns pay a percentage of their taxes to the CMM and the mandate of the STM includes the entire island of Montreal, but these low density areas deserve nothing more than commuter rail and various bus services.
The REM network is going to cost many, many billions of dollars. Considering how much rolling stock of the AMT sits around in rail yards I'm sure we wouldn't need to buy much more to increase headways. All you need is dedicated track... something that is a problem because of the greedy jews of CN and CP.
Your arguments are full fallacies a la "he doesn't know"... I know all the shit you've written, but it doesn't change the reality that it's insane to spend billions on suburban transport when urban transit is used beyond capacity. We need a metro running under Pie-IX not a stopgap measure BRT. We need some sort of fixed transport solution for Parc and Cote-des-Neiges avenues, we need the Blue line extended at least 4 stations in both directions.
