I haven't ridden it in a few years, but I've always had really good
experiences with Montreal's Metro. I've never had to wait long for trains,
and the island at least seems to be very well covered. When I finally
discovered the bus that takes you up Mont Royal I was very psyched -- I
like walking _down_ a lot better than walking _up_ so I usually wouldn't
go there when I was in town sans auto. The only thing that gave me trouble
on the Metro was that all the French station names blurred together in my
Anglophone brain, so I was constantly looking at maps to make sure I was
going in the right direction. (Henri-Bourassa? Angrignon? Lucien L'Allier?
Huh?)
