(c'est okay, mettons un peu mieux que Lionel Groulx pour une ambiance semblable) Sauf que 
Le dedans a l'air sorti tout droit de 1982 pis YA DU TAPIS DANS LES CALISS DE WAGONS, ARK 
It's quite a bit more expensive, too. |

 Coolness: 62960 | on peut se consoler qu'on a les meilleurs trains pour le métro au moins... et les seuls avec des pneus. |

 Coolness: 146335 | les meilleurs trains ?! c'est les 2e plus vieux du monde (+ de 40 ans depuis leur mise en service), ils sont passés date depuis des années, ça commence à coûter crissement cher en maintenance et il y a beaucoup trop de problèmes électriques et mécaniques... et les nouveaux trains ne seront pas là avant 2014 (10 ans en retard).
il y a beaucoup d'autres métros sur pneus (par exemple, la plupart à Paris) |

 Coolness: 127775 | Everyone I know that's visited Montreal, even from near 3rd world countries has commented that our metro system looks like absolute shit. A network of leaky coldwar era bombshelters with noisy rediculous playmobile looking wagons. No class whatsoever. Even the new ticketing system is shit, not to mention the monkeys running the show that need a computer to help them with the grade 1 math. Nice vest! BRO! |

 Coolness: 248435 | Well if we compare, New-York's metro is not THAT better!
And for the price, Transport in Montreal is quite really cheap ! In my mind, better have an ugly metro than no metro at all..... I wouldn't pay more to have a classy one . |

| Coolness: 146335 | Paris and London metros are much worse than Montreal's... except for coverage, but that's all; they're dirtier, smellier, more expensive, with smaller cars, less room in stations, crazy map, + they have stressed and unpleasant people all over :P
Lyon, Berlin, Amsterdam, Brussels, Budapest, São Paulo, and Toronto seemed somehow nice enough, but nothing better than Montreal, to me. Vancouver's Skytrain is the shit, though :) |

 Coolness: 159130 | I went New York last summer and got a hotel in Brooklyn so we had to take the subway about 6 times a day - sometimes early, sometimes incredibly late - to visit all sorts of neighborhoods. I can tell you this much, if the NYC subways were dangerous, it wouldn't explain the sheer amount of baby carriages and hipsters sporting iPads I saw in there at all times.
Not only that but most stations are about a century old and they're in far better shape that the 40 years old ones we have. I haven't seen one torn down wall or burst pipe leaking water all over the walls over there. The subway system there is a lot older and got way more love - despite looking very old and dated - than our metro. If we take care of our subway system the same way we take care of our roads, we serious fucking suck at maintenance. It seems for any government or public transportation company to be in our nature to do shit all for years, sit on our asses, contemplate for years and wait until the whole place is falling apart to apply cheap McGiver-style emergency repairs and go right back to procrastinating as soon as possible. Then when we run out of duct tape, string, asphalt and rubber bands, we go cry and whine to the government for funding to rebuild shit that we should've taken care of for years. Plus our subway looks like an crumbling horrible 70s hippie art gallery. For a city that prides itself with leading edge technological, medical, video game and 3D industries, our subway sure as hell doesn't look the part. |

Well that's from your experience cuz from mine it was the total opposite When i took subway in the Bronx, it was well really not clean at all and lots of crazy wierdo all around. Even see some coachroaches....... I wouldn't have stayed there alone that's for sure. There's some good stations here and there as well in New-York. IT depends of the areas like in Montreal. . And what i'm saying it's we are lucky to have a metro compared to other cities who would really need it. For the price we pay , i think you guyz likes to complain , but i'm pretty sure if the government were asking us to pay 100$ / 200$ + to renovate it, you would all be the first to laugh in their face and say no. People complain when they put 25 cents raise... 4 years to have new metro is pretty reasonnable and we should look at what we have in a positive way instead of complaining all the time. Grass is always greener on the neighbor side you know. |

| Coolness: 127775 | I saw berri for the first time in months today.. if I remember correctly its the core station of our metro system. I thought it looked like shit before... now its just out of control. The place is a fucking disaster and it really doesn't look like anyone's in charge. Pressed fiber panels screwed in place here and there.. wires and ducts hanging all over the place.. giant red corrugated panels in the middle of nowhere. Theres no color scheme at all.. red blue orange green yellow beige grey nimportequoi.. rectangles, hexagons, squares, circles, giant squiggly stickers all on a backround of drippy, toxic stalactite ridden, bacteria infested concrete. WTF!!! It looks like some designer found a used kids coloring book in a st-hubert dumpster flipped to a random page and cried genius. Even as a work in progress, I can't see it all coming together. Anyone know where they are going with this? |
