Metro Montmorency or why Laval sucks
Métro Montmorency is the STM's newest station in picturesque Laval, Québec.
Obviously situated in a well travelled area, it serves a massive population of commuters. At a low construction cost of only $250 million, it's easy to see why people are flocking to the station in droves. Building a station at this location will certainly attract development, as I'm sure the people who currently live in drastically underserviced areas of Montreal will be happy to move here in short order.
Oh, and by the way, even though the station is equipped with automated pass readers and your CAM says valid for unlimited travel within the STM's métro network, don't count on using it here. The STM charges travellers a $2.75 cash fare to board in Laval. The STM employs two money changers at each station at all times because the automated turnstile system is unusable.
Montrealers: in case you're curious about the hype and want to visit the new stations that the advertisements encourage everyone to be so excited about, I've done it for you. My fellow travellers: this is what awaits you. Laval truly is the city of unity, progress, and greatness.
And dirt.
