STM : Tramway

[Halifax Hillbilly]

Is there any new news on Montreal tramways? There seemed to be a lot of talk about Parc Avenue, Old Port, Cote-des-Neiges and some other routes but there has been very little action.

 

Also does anyone know what the status of the south shore LRT/Highway 10 project is? This seemed to be quite far along and stalled.

 

With good coverage by the metro, lots of busy bus corridors already, and a very dense population base, tramlines seem like the natural addition to Montreal's transit system. The boost they'd give to urban development and infill would be a huge bonus as well.

Sorry, I haven't heard anything new about this project!

Thanks anyways. Sure looks like a quality project.

I would guess that since the Bonaventure expressway is now in the process of being revamped, the A-10 SLR project must be slightly reviewed in order to fit in.

Let the STM sort out the mechanical issues and the users can do their part.

I'm not sure I understand what you're suggesting.

 

Are you saying people should stop having heart attacks and/or committing suicide? In the name of the god of efficient underground public transit?

 

I'm not sure if changing humans to fit our machines is really the most efficient or wise way of 'adapting.'

La question me brule, Qu,est ce que le tram peut apporter de plus que le Bus?

C'est moins bruyant, c'est plus propre, il peut contenir plus de gens et c'est carrément plus beau.(esthétique)

C'est aussi une question de marketing: le tramway est plus sexy que l'autobus et a donc un plus grand pouvoir d'attraction auprès du public.

Tous de bons points et je suis d'accord avec la plupart.

 

Mais vous connaissez les montréalais autant que moi, vont-ils prendre un tram par dessus le bus?
