The Expo Express was a rapid transit system consisting of five stations and a 5.7 kilometres (3.5 mi) route. Built for Montreal’s Expo 67 and costing around CAD$18 million, the trains carried 1,000 passengers each and ran approximately every five minutes.
After Expo 67 closed, the cars were sold to the City of Montreal and remained in service for four more years on a shortened route between Île-Notre-Dame and La Ronde. After the 1972 season the service was withdrawn.
Famous quotes containing the word express:
“There is nothing so dangerous for anyone who has something to hide as conversation!... A human being, Hastings, cannot resist the opportunity to reveal himself and express his personality which conversation gives him. Every time he will give himself away.”
—Agatha Christie (1891–1976)
