C'est le double du nombre de rames prévus en heures de pointe non? Soit qu'ils testent la possibilité soit qu'ils testent les mesures d'urgences (un train qui pousse un autre en panne)...

Ou tout simplement ils sont en entreposage?

Le garage est peut être pas complété?

Entreposage? Au milieu d'un tronçon?

Buenos Aire having more stations than Montreal but shorter in km. i remember the wood cars. They get ride of them in 2012 if i remember. 

Buenos Aires is really dense i won't be surprised if it's smaller in superficia than Montreal. 

The most overcrowded metro i took was the Sao Paulo metro. 

 

 

Metro does mean underground, but in many cities what began underground often expanded to run above. In Mexico City, the "Metro" goes under and over ground in Canadian made Bombardier cars but the windows open!

It means “Metropolitan Railway,” first in London, then adopted by Paris; neither started “underground.”

It was the other way around, at the beginning when the London Metropolitan Railway Company expanded from overground to underground trains, and so too later on in Paris when La Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris did the same.

Mexico DF’s STC uses stock from four different manufacturers, with some models being built by consortia among the four (Alstom/Concarríl, Bombardier/CAF, Bombardier/Alstom).

Metro means fast, frequent and reliable service running on a predictible time table, usually with short intervals, meaning that you do not need to check when the next train will show up. You just walk up to the platform and a train will show up, normally within a few minutes at most. That's what a metro system is. The REM is a metro system. The only reason that inhabitants of Montreal tend to think of the Metro as being underground is because that's how our metro was built because of our climatic conditions. That's really all that there is to it.

Well, when you are sitting in one, there is no question that they are the same cars we used to ride here.

Exactly what I said. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
