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

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".

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)

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

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)

Mont-Saint-Hilaire Line (AMT)

RE:

Hawker Siddeley Cab Car at Saint-Basile-le-Grand station

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

Terminus Le Carrefour (AMT) & Montmorency (AMT)

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)

Voyageur bus routes

Voyageur Colonial Bus Lines "Martin continues to own Voyageur Colonial, although the company no longer (?) runs bus lines. It retains ownership of the bus terminals in Ottawa and Montreal."

Please verify. As far as I am aware two routes from Montreal to Ottawa (One south and one north of the Ottawa River) are still run under the Voyageur name.

Peter Horn 03:16, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

I posted the above note on Talk:Voyageur Colonial Bus Lines back in December, but nobody "bit".

Peter Horn 03:38, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I checked out both the Greyhound and the Voyageur web sites that you gave me and it appears that VCL is still the carrier. Peter Horn 15:31, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Montreal Subdivision

[2] is pretty clear about CSX reaching Adirondack Junction (Kahnawake). --NE2 05:09, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Response

While it is true that whatever is left of the rail between Beauharnois and Adirondack belongs to CSX. The tracks were abandoned almost 10 years ago and has been ripped up in many locations. The connection to CP was destroyed about 2 years ago [3]. The Right of way still exits, [4], but clearly, there are no longer any tracks. With the reconstruction of Highway 132 about 4 years ago, the level crossing was removed.

OK - thanks for the clarification. Feel free to revert my revert if you have not done so yet. --NE2 05:42, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Montréal-Ouest (AMT)

I have been out of the country for two weeks in Zihuatanejo, Guerrero, Mexico for the past two weeks and only got back this Friday morning so that's why I did not reply sooner. To get the dates for the VIA train you might phone VIA;s PR. For the history of Amtrak (Adirondack) train you might E-mail [service@lob.amtrak.com] or try Adirondack (Amtrak). For the history of former CP train you might phone CP's PR. I dont know much more than you do. Peter Horn 21:51, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

I found some usefull dates in Windsor Station (Montreal). Peter Horn 22:47, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Gare Centrale (Montreal)#Intercity transport & Talk:Gare Centrale (Montreal)

What do the Aldershot (GO station) and the Fallowfield railway station have to do with the Dorval railway station and Gare Centrale (Montreal)??? How does one get rid of those? Peter Horn 03:23, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Response

The reason why Aldershot and Fallowfield are there is because they are technically the terminus of some trains (one I think) on the Montreal/Toronto and Montreal/Ottawa route. I would be in favor of switching that back to Toronto and Ottawa as they are the main destinations. I just don't know how to access that box. Alex@MTRL 03:49, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Who does? Peter Horn 04:04, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Neither one is at all relevant to Ottawa - Montreal Peter Horn 01:55, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Montréal-Ouest (AMT)

I love what you did. More later. Peter Horn 04:04, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

I applied your template system wide in Montreal Metro and in Agence métropolitaine de transport, quite a job which had to be done in various sessions. Peter Horn 15:01, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Conflict

between Centre Champlain at Honoré-Beaugrand (Montreal Metro) and Champlain Mall at Terminus Panama (AMT). Peter Horn 01:53, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Response

Peter, what is the conflict?

You would need to look at both the history of Terminus Panama (AMT) and Honoré-Beaugrand (Montreal Metro) as well as the history of List of malls in Montreal, Champlain Mall and Centre Champlain and look at the revisions that I made to all of these and you'll see what I mean.

Entrance to the Square-Victoria metro station. A visual reference to the Paris Métro.

Can someone fix this? Peter Horn 00:45, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Response

It appears to have been fixed by Tachikoma

fr:Gare centrale de Montréal (Consolidation) & Gare Centrale (Montreal)

How does one copy the following image, and others, from the French article into the English one? I tried, with this one, but got nowhere. Translation of the captions is the least of my problems.

La nouvelle ligne d'accès pour la Gare Centrale proposée

Peter Horn 15:18, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Response

I guess the best thing to do would be to save the image to your computer and reupload it to the English Wikipedia. I've tried adding it as a regular img html tag, but to no avail. Alex@MTRL 22:15, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I propose a new article

List of crossings of the Rivière des Mille Îles (Rivière des Mille Îles). Care to make a prliminary list? Peter Horn 02:44, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

I started this new page myself, but feel free to help me fill in the blanks. Peter Horn 17:19, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Radisson (Montreal Metro)

Metropolitan routes I find it hard to reconcile this info with the info I find on the AMT Page on inter municipal bus services. Which info is valid and/or up to date? Peter Horn 00:40, 26 February 2007 (UTC).

For good measure, throw the Radisson (Montreal Metro)#External links (Société de transport de Montréal) — official site into the mix. It differs somewhat from the previous info. Peter Horn 01:02, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

List of malls in Montreal

I may need some help in locating some of these malls. I started to add some locations & I'll add as many more as I can. Peter Horn 19:46, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm OK, I found a loction for all malls in

Jarry Park Stadium

(By "copy and paste" What's your source for this claim that the word "Stadium" was appended to the ballpark name? Wahkeenah 23:22, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

My reply (ies): My source is the French Wiki fr:Stade Jarry. One MUST distinguish between the stadium and the large urban park of the same name Jarry Park or Parc Jarry (fr:Parc Jarry). I KNOW, because I live here. Salut. Peter Horn 03:04, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

On second thought Jarry Stadium, a literal translation of Stade Jarry, would have been more appropriate. It is more ellegant and would also have preserved the distinction between the stadium and the urban park. See fr:Jarry#Toponyme. Peter Horn 13:28, 4 April 2007 (UTC).

I think Americans should leave Montreal geographics in particular and Quebec geographics in general to us who live around here! Any comments Keller???

User talk pages

I have moved Talk:Kellergraham/Archives to User talk:Kellergraham/Archives and deleted the resultant redirect. I also fixed the link at the top of this page. User talk pages go under "User talk:" not "Talk:". Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. -- JLaTondre 15:43, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello!

Glad to see another fellow wikipedian from Montréal! How about a wikimeetup? What do you think? --Party!^{Talk to me!} 03:38, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
