STCUM Customer Information
Work Completed on Métro Line 4 - Yellow
Montréal, April 16, 1997 - The STCUM wishes to inform its customers that restoration work on the line 4 - yellow tunnel has been completed. This happens to be very good news for commuters on the Berri-UQAM / Longueuil line since they can take advantage of the return to regular Saturday and Sunday service three weekends sooner than expected. The use of new work methods accounts in great part for the speed of the work.
