Montreal Light Automated Metro
#12
Here is a HuffPost Quebec story about the proposed new Montreal Regional LRT.

J'veux un p'tit train électrique!

A provincial Conservative  MPP who wrote the piece probably got his crib notes for the from our local journalist hack Mr. Jeff O'Negative.

His opinion piece goes on to attack the local and provincial governments with many of the items taht we have seen over the last 4-5 years in our local media.  

Adrien Pouliot states that the cost per kilometer of the new Montreal region LRT is to be $82 Million dollars. JUst for chuckles he notes that in the U.S. they are built similar electrified transport for as little as $19 Million per kilometer in Salt lake and $57 Million peer kilometer in Los Angeles.

An artist representation of a proposed LRT station somewhere on the soouth shore is below. (More LRT stop envy for Canard). You can catch the rest in the opinion piece.
