The MPM-10 consists of articulated cars per train. Indeed, why just have a 3 coch joke, when you can have a 9 car train? If only Vancouver would have such forward thinking & planning.

Train length152.43 m (500 ft 1+18 in)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPM-10#History Unlike Vancouver, Montreal planned for 500 foot long stations right from the start. 9 car trains are great, but ultimately there should be 10-12 car trains.
