The Montreal Metro stations are 152.5m or 500 feet long & can accommodate a 9 car train. All of the underground stations of the Canada (embarrassment) Line are only 50m. Anyone in engineering or construction knows, that if designed properly, a structure can eventually be lengthened or widened.

Therefore, all the stations should have been doubled in length by now to be 100m. Then in another decade the stations should have become 160m & in another decade, 200m. Unfortunatly, the Canada Line was only designed to ultimately accomodate a 2.5 car train, not 8-10 car trains.

As of 2025, the 2009 Canada Line operators are still only running a 2 car joke of a train.
