From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Montpellier is a commuter rail station on the AMT Deux-Montagnes Line in the Greater Montreal, Quebec, Canada area. Montpellier is in Fare Zone 1 [1].
[edit] Origin of name
Prior to the modernization of the Deux-Montagnes Line, between 1993 and 1995, the station was called Vertu because of its location on Côte-Vertu Boulevard. One of the reasons the name was changed was to avoid confusion with the Côte-Vertu station which opened in 1986. The current name Montpellier comes from the name of a nearby street and shopping mall. The name of the street probably refers to Montpellier in France.
[edit] Location
The station is located at 465 Côte-Vertu Boulevard in Saint-Laurent between the corners of Côte-Vertu Boul./Jules-Poitras Boul. and of Côte-Vertu Boul./Muir St. Coordinates: 45°31′29″N, 73°40′21″W
