Côte-Vertu is a station on the Orange Line of the Montreal Metro rapid transit system, operated by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM). It is located in the borough of Saint-Laurent in Montreal, Quebec, Canada [4].
Opened on November 3, 1986, the station has served as the western terminus of the Orange Line since that date, having taken over from Du Collège station.

The station is a normal side platform station with one transept, mezzanine and three entrances.
The station was designed by the architectural firms of Jodoin, Lamarre, Pratte, & Co and Cayouette & Saia. It contains two artworks: a set of two mural sculptures by Yves Trudeau in the transept, entitled Relief, négatif positif, and a mural by Éric Lamontagne in the new bus terminus, entitled L'Homo urbanus.
It was originally intended as a temporary terminus, to be followed by an two to three station extension to a point somewhat beyond the current Bois-Franc commuter train station; however, this never took place. Because this station was intended to be a temporary terminus the passenger accesses are much too small, during rush hour it can take several minutes for the platform to clear while trains arrive only 2 minutes apart.
As this station is the terminus for several bus routes, including the three Société de transport de Laval (STL) buses, a new bus terminal around the northern entrance was completed in 2005. Two new bus shelters at the southern entrance on Edouard-Laurin Boulevard, serving the metropolitan routes, were finished at about the same time.
The station is equipped with the MétroVision information screens which displays news, commercials, and the time till the next train. In November 2010, Côte-Vertu became the 8th station to be wheelchair accessible as elevators were added.
This station is named for the chemin de la Côte-Vertu. The area through which the street runs has been known as Notre-Dame-de-Vertu, Notre-Dame-de-la-Vertu, or Notre-Dame-des-Vertus (Our Lady of Virtue) since at least 1700.
