Line 3 Red (Montreal Metro)
The Red Line (french: Ligne rouge), also known as Line 3 (french: Ligne 3), was a proposed line of the Montreal Metro that never made it past its planning stage. The line was supposed to have 15 stations and end at Cartierville (western) of Bordeaux-Cartierville, using Canadian National Railway, CN tracks and Mount Royal Tunnel under Mount Royal. The line was cancelled because: * Trains would have to use steel wheels instead of rubber tires like the rest of the Metro cars because part (or most) of the line was to go outside. * Expo 67 made the Line 4 Yellow (Montreal Metro), Yellow Line more important. The line was still planned for construction as a "regional metro" line in the early 1980s, reduced to a total of 9 stations. The tracks were used by the Commuter rail in North America, commuter rail Deux-Montagnes Line (AMT), Deux-Montagnes Line between 1995 and 2020, and will form the central section of the planned Réseau express métropolitain. 1982 list of planned stations The ...

Réseau Express Métropolitain
The Réseau express métropolitain (REM; en, Metropolitan Express Network) is a light metro rapid transit system under construction in Greater Montreal, Quebec, Canada. When completed in 2025, the system will link several Montreal suburbs and Montréal–Trudeau International Airport with Downtown Montreal. The existing Deux-Montagnes line is being converted to light metro standards. The light metro rail system is projected to cost $6.9billion. It will be independent of—but connect to—the existing Montreal Metro, operated by the STM. Trains on the network will be fully automated and driverless, and it will become the fifth-longest automated transportation system in the world, after the Singapore Mass Rapid Transit, Kuala Lumpur Rapid KL, Vancouver SkyTrain, and Dubai Metro. The first section between Brossard and Central Station is expected to open in the second quarter of 2023. History On 13 January 2015, Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard and Michael Sabia, CEO of C ...

Line 7 White (Montreal Metro)
The White Line (french: Ligne blanche), also known as Line 7 (french: Ligne 7), was a proposed line of the Montreal Metro that never made it past its planning stage. The White Line was first proposed by the Commission de transport de Montréal (CTM) during the initial planning for the Montreal Metro in 1953, and in 1970 the Communauté urbaine de Montréal (CUM) proposed an extension of the Green Line to Montréal-Nord. In September 1983, the Bureau des Transports de Montréal (BTM) proposed a new north-south Line 7 consisting of ten stations, from Pie-IX to Léger, under Boulevard Pie-IX, through Saint-Léonard and north-east towards Rivière-des-Prairies. A year later, at the start of 1984, it was formally proposed by the Communauté urbaine de Montréal (CUM), with 12 stations (from Pie-IX to Maurice-Duplessis/Langelier). For nearly a decade during the 1980s and 1990s, the line appeared on all official Métro maps, coloured white, so it received the unofficial nickname of ...

Line 6 (Montreal Metro)
Line 6 was a proposed surface-running line of the Montreal Metro. Unlike the rubber-tire technology used on the Metro's current lines, Line 6's trains would have run on steel wheels. Planned as the first of a series of new "regional metro" lines along existing railways in 1979 (similar in concept to the Paris RER and San Francisco BART), the Ministère de Transport du Québec (MTQ) expected Line 6 to begin service along 23.3 km of Canadian National railway tracks by 1989. According to a MTQ proposal from 1982, Line 6 would have intersected the Orange Line (Line 2) at Du College and Sauve stations, and along with a planned transfer with the also-unbuilt Red Line, or Line 3, the line would have had 11 stations overall. Running along the northern part of the island, it would have passed through the districts of St. Laurent, Ahuntsic, Saint-Michel, Montreal-Nord, Riviere-des-Prairies and Pointe-aux-Trembles."Le Métro fait surface: La ligne 6".
