In my opinion, one thing Montreal truly does better is the Metro. It’s cleaner, there are more useful lines and even the colour scheme is cooler than Toronto’s subway. But beyond these features, there is a functional difference between the two systems: my hometown subway has steel wheels and steel rails, while Montreal’s cars roll along with rubber tires on concrete. Why did Montreal opt for rubber twelve years after Toronto chose steel?</p> Thu, 21 Jul 2022 00:47:16 +0000 Haleh Cohn 9185 at /oss
