    Exactly. That’s why I said “construction start delayed to 2023” isn’t really a delay, considering nothing is approved.

    so glad we changed Urbaine to Métropolitaine.

    Oh my jod je ne l’avais même pas aperçu il y a déjà six semaines! Fantastique!

    What about them?
  5. SameGuy
    Je le savais moi aussi. That doesn’t change the fact that most won’t. Mont Royal isn’t regal, nor named for a monarch, but rather for John Royal, Jacques Cartier’s patron. La Place Tranquille will hopefully reflect its name figuratively, all the while paying homage to its actual namesake.

    While I’m pleased with the commitment to “modernize” the fleet, it boils my blood that we’re still doing that by buying diesel locos and running long, slow trains every couple of hours. Again, the Caisse is able to hammer out deals with the Class I railroads in no time flat, but the poor RTM, supposedly a government agency, keeps running into roadblock after roadblock. Never mind Europe or Asia: go to a country that is much more like us — Australia — and see how they’ve revamped suburban and regional rail over the last 40 years into a truly modern, clean, comfortable and frequent service that is so ubiquitous that people don’t even have to ponder the possibility of taking the train.

    I used to love taking the metro when I was a kid. I grew up not far away from where I live now out in the middle of the West Island, and we took public transit everywhere. Later on (in the 80s), dad would drive to a metro station and then we would take public transit from there. More often than not, though, from the time we were able to walk, we would take the CN train from Roxboro to Central Station and then continue on foot or by metro from there to wherever. Whether it was a game at the Big O, or an OSM concert at PDA, or a day at LaRonde, we usually used public transit.

    Sorry was distracted and Siri misheard me and I didn’t correct it.

    Sorry, I depend on my car for the vast majority of my displacements as well, but if I’m going to Six Flags (haven’t been since it was sold to the Americans, but I digress) or to PJD or IND/Villeneuve, I’m getting there by Métro 10 times out of 10.

    It’s still a minestrone.

    Rocky probably comes out to the boonies about as often as I get downtown.

    Ce qui est drôle, c'est que je ne crois pas que quiconque dans ce forum ait imaginé - ou entendu parler - d'une date de début officielle de la construction en 2022. Tout ce qu'on nous a dit jusqu'à présent, c'est que des travaux préparatoires étaient prévus ou en cours à des points clés le long du trajet proposée, comme à Pie-IX coin Jean-Talon. Je ne crois pas qu'il y ait encore eu d'appel pour soumissionnaires qualifiés, et encore moins d'appel d'offres.

    Au revoir! Y’all come back now visit agin real soon now, y’hear?
  14. SameGuy
    So figuratively named. Theres no word in the English language for “visual onomatopoeia,” but if there were, a picture of Place Tranquille would be next to it in the dictionary.
  15. SameGuy
    Che minestrone! 🤦🏻‍♂️

    REM de l'Est

    I still think this is the case. So yes, the statement from @Cataclaw mirrors my perception of what constitutes the ideal: that mass transit — whether local buses, BRT, any variety of metro, regional, or even intercity rail — is a social service, and shouldn’t be driven by profits, bottom-line financial ROI, potential to generate future investment property developments, or even pure vanity and a fascination with “shiny things.” Like any social service, it must do good for the existing populations as well as those of the future, and it must be results-driven: it must serve the largest number of people with the best possible solutions while making the most pragmatic use of the public treasury. REM ain’t it.

    I think I’ve shared the succinct summary of my opinion on this forum a few too many times, to the point where even I no longer find my clever one-liner cute nor funny.

    Like French mainline trains, sens inverse. This is the ideal; REM misses the target by light years.

    Honteux.

    And yet, in ten years — when REM-B might be in service — the under-served areas on the map will be even more densely populated.

    Also opens the door to an eventual A-25-aligned offering of some sort.

    FWIW, I don’t find the elevated trains in Queens and Brooklyn (or Chicago) all that charming or quaint. But modern elevated guideways — and the modern metros that run on them — are something entirely different, so we share common ground, as you said.
