[edit] Terminus Centre-Ville (AMT)

Re Panama terminus in Brossard, is this an AMT or an RTL terminus? Similar question about the bus terminus at the Metro station

Hi Peter. First, thanks for your numerous contributions to the transit pages in Montreal. To answer your question, ALL terminuses (termini??) are under the responsibility of the AMT. This includes, Panama, Cote-Vertu, Henri-Bourassa, Radisson and all the others listed here

[edit] Replies

Thanks for your answers, I'll make the necessary modifocations & I'll see where I can fit in your new template. The reason that I was able to make all these contributions is that I live in Chomedey. BTW, personally I prefer "termini".

[edit] Terminus Panama (AMT)

I have created some articles that you may want to expand:

• Terminus Panama (AMT) (perhaps this should be renamed to Terminus Brossard-Panama (AMT) to match the AMT's usage)
• Sainte-Thérèse (AMT)
• Saint-Jérôme (AMT)

There should be an announcement on Monday, November 27 about the extension of the Blainville commuter line to Saint-Jérôme (AMT). -- Eastmain 10:33, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fares

"The commuter train fare system is based on the assumption that the user is travelling to or from downtown. There are no reductions, for example, for travel between zone 2 and 5 or exclusively in zone 3."

This kind of fare structure does nothing to encourage greater use of public transit. The AMT is possibly the only transit authority on the face of this earth to commit this kind of a blunder. Correct me if you can. For comparison in practice see The West Coast Express and West Coast Express regular fares and GO Transit fares

I posted this at Talk:Agence métropolitaine de transport but no one reacted, any comments?

[edit] Blainville Line (AMT)#History

I doubt that the 935 Trainbus Blainville / Centreville ever reached the (Guy-Concordia) metro station. But where does it end? I seem to recall that the downtown terminus was changed at least once. Peter Horn 23:41, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the archival link to [1]. I have inserted it at the apropriate spot in the above mentioned section. Peter Horn 15:26, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mont-Saint-Hilaire Line (AMT)

RE:

The train shown here appears to be suited for low level platforms, not the high level ones of Gare Centrale. What gives?Peter Horn 15:37, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bus terminus Dorval & Terminus Fairview at Fairview Pointe-Claire

Are these termini Agence métropolitaine de transport or Société de transport de Montréal? They are not shown on Metropolitan termini. Peter Horn 03:51, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pont Viau

In what year was it drastically widened so as to add a reserved bus lane and a dedicated bicycle path? I saw the work being done but I can't recall exactly when it was done. Peter Horn 18:22, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bus terminus Dorval, Dorval station & Dorval, Quebec railway station

These three are so close together, and mutually accessible, that I would sugest that in future these three be combined in one article with three #REDIRECT pages to suit. What do you think?

So sorry, I forgot to sign this message. Peter Horn 17:20, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Repentigny-Mascouche Line (AMT)

Yes, as a matter of fact I do remember that temporary train service that ran from near the Du Collège metro station to Repentigny with an intermediate station near the Sauvé metro station. Out of curiosity I took it once for the full length. At this time I would have to ask the AMT for details, the year (some 20 years ago?) and etc. The reason for this service was the extensive work being done on the Metropolitan. Peter Horn 03:33, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

I have fleshed out the history of this temporary service a bit. Peter Horn 17:18, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Terminus Le Carrefour (AMT) & Montmorency (AMT)

AMT Metropolitan Bus Terminals:

Angrignon | Brossard-Panama | Centre-Ville | Chevrier Park-n-Ride | Côte-Vertu | Henri-Bourassa Nord | Henri-Bourassa Sud Le Carrefour | Longueuil | Montmorency | Radisson | Repentigny | Saint-Eustache | Saint-Jérôme | Sainte-Thérèse | Terrebonne

Terminus Le Carrefour (AMT) & Montmorency (AMT) need to be revised when the latter will be put in service because I expect that all intermunicipal and intercity bus service will be transferred there from the former. Peter Horn 17:40, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
