Additionally, what would make these lines unique compared to the current stuff we have (besides the wheels, which could possibly be shared between each other to save money) is the way construction (and maintenance) of them is funded. Rather than be funded mostly by taxes, etc., 3, 6, 7, 8, and the 5 airport extension would be also funded by the major destinations around them. (3 would be funded by downtown events near the south end - especially stuff like Centre Bell, 6 would be funded by northeast end events, 7 and 8 by events at Parc Olympique, and the 5 airport extension by the airport - particularly related to stuff involving international flights). Of course, taxes would also be involved, but I think by having other sources for money be used besides taxes I think these projects could potentially gain a lot more traction than when they were initially proposed.

Also P.S. Line 6 would be colored 'Brown' but have a maroonish color similar to Qatar's flag, and the Mascouche line would be eliminated; the tracks would however remain and be used by Line 6)
