Agreed. Streetcars are a waste of money right now. A full metro system is what is really needed. And what Montreal needs to do is to Diversify its metro car stock, by which I mean, some metro lines should be able to go above ground. I find vancouver's skytrain very good indeed, thanks to its above ground system, Vancouver's metro is able to sprawl out way into the suburbs. That's just not feasible with the underground metro.
