Montreal trains look good. Looks like grab bars are available throughout the train unlike the new ttc cars.
2 years ago I literally had to let 7 trains pass northbound at Dundas before I could physically squeeze onto one. I suppose if I was a really pushy asshole I could have gotten on by the 5th one but myself and many others kept waiting. We only barely fit onto the 8th train, leaving quite a few people behind who were there before I even got on the platform. Every train that left had to attempt 2 or 3 separate door closings before leaving.

The new Montreal trains are awesome, been waiting a long time to see those go into service. I'll have to go see them soon.
