I'm glad line 5's stations were built with an abundance of new in-station retail units. it's something i appreciate about the toronto subway in general.

one of those units is already leased and open at kennedy station!

did you know that you can still see streetcar tracks in #montreal, more than 50 years after they were replaced by buses?

whenever it’s groundhog day, i think back to 2023, when quebec’s groundhog was discovered dead hours before it was supposed to make its prediction.

did you know there’s a piece of the berlin wall in #montreal? it sits at the world trade centre, right where the city’s fortifications once stood.

the 3 most recent stations of the #montreal metro, which were inaugurated in 2007. each station in the network has a unique architecture.

les causes des pannes du @remgrandmtl.bsky.social sont toujours nébuleuses et c'est frustrant pour les usagers. des alertes plus détaillées permettraient diminuer la frustration de la clientèle quant aux pannes fréquentes des derniers jours. le rem devrait s'inspirer de translink et de la stm.

Lots of people assured me that Dutch-style protected bike intersections would be a nightmare for snow plowing.

Seems fine to me.
