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".

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.
