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 After the 1972 season the service was withdrawn.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:
“Why does philosophy use concepts and why does faith use symbols if both try to express the same ultimate? The answer, of course, is that the relation to the ultimate is not the same in each case. The philosophical relation is in principle a detached description of the basic structure in which the ultimate manifests itself. The relation of faith is in principle an involved expression of concern about the meaning of the ultimate for the faithful.”
—Paul Tillich (1886–1965)
