    That’s not germane to this conversation. 😉

    I don’t know why everybody is so focussed on the length of REM, and where it will rank among automated metros in the world. Even assuming REM-B gets built, by then every other city’s automated lines will have already been in service for a while and Montreal will rank somewhere around 30th or 40th in the world. We should instead be focussing on how it improves the lives of Montrealers and visitors, and not whether this city somehow becomes relevant on the world stage once again. For example, by the end of next year, Hangzhou’s current metro expansions will open and its system will total nearly 500 km of which over 300 km will be fully automated (the entire system will be automated by 2027). Can you pinpoint Hangzhou on a map? Or describe anything for which it is famous? Me neither. But they aren’t building it to be world-famous; the city’s 22 million people need to get around!

    You’ll be too busy holding your breath to avoid inhaling the armpit aromas of the straphangers crowding over you as you try desperately not to slide into the person next to you thanks to the highly polished longitudinal seats. It really is a wonderful transit system. I hope we also adopt the same YVR “AddFare” system for our airport branch instead of just charging Toronto prices.

    I was at the Police Synchronicity taping for MTV/Much/MusiquePlus at Spectrum 38 years ago tomorrow. How I “feel” about a place shouldn’t hold much weight in decisions about how an area will look for decades.

    Saying since the first designs were revealed. No plan or preparation for any sort of intermodal station, because the Caisse just doesn’t. Effing. Care.

    Omg ça n’a rien à faire avec la station de l’aéroport. The underwater station was already deemed impossible after the initial studies. Now that the line is built, it’s not only technically and financially impossible, it’d be even dumber than a new roof for the Big Owe.
  11. SameGuy
    There will not be a station under the Bassin. Full stop.
  12. SameGuy
    It was technically infeasible using the infrastructure that is still shared with VIA and RTM. The drop from Bonaventure to a low point beneath the Bassin would require a complete overhaul of the CN Overpass, along with the main thermal conduits for the entire downtown, not to mention the William retention basin. The slope from Bonaventure to the underwater station and then up again on the PSC side would have been a technical challenge for any conventional light rail technology, and the cost of this one station (and associated infrastructure and tunnelling) would have been an inordinately huge chunk of REM-A’s budget.

    Nice shot. I ask regularly: the spur to the CCUM is deprecated, right? And the old porticos for the CN catenaries? What purpose do they serve now?
  14. SameGuy
    Exactly. If nobody wins, then everybody loses.

    Perhaps not my best choice of word, but yes, they are not heritage buildings, they are not really that old, nor of significant cultural value; they just don’t belong there anymore, and that image I quoted highlights it perfectly. Another picture from that angle in two years will show just how awful they are. Yay, so street festival loiterers can get awful, burnt coffee and a greezy shawarma, but these shophouses aren’t exactly the Maison L-H Lafontaine.
  18. SameGuy
    Lol
  19. SameGuy
    This it the view that bolsters my opinion, in contradiction to @ProposMontréal’s, that these street-front shophouses are completely ersatz.
