Before the construction of the voie Camillien-Houde and Remembrance Road on the mountain in the 1960s, the quickest way to get up was by tramway. For decades, the number 11 tram line, the predecessor to today’s number 11 bus, trundled up the slopes of Mount Royal.I’m not entirely sure what happened to the streetcar tracks. There’s an even bigger mystery, too: in the STM archive photo above you can see that, at one point, the trams passed through a tunnel. Is it still there? If not, what happened to it?
Another great streecar ride was the trip to Lachine! Had to pay an extra fare once you got so far out.
Yup those streetcars had some good rides.Back in the 50s even when you go east from the center town it was a extra charge.
