Montpellier station (REM)

1

Montpellier station is a future Réseau express métropolitain (REM) station, expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2024. It is located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Until May 2020, the station was a commuter rail station operated by Exo on the Deux-Montagnes line.

Origin of name

Prior to the modernization of the Deux-Montagnes line, between 1993 and 1995, the station was called Vertu because of its location on Côte-Vertu Boulevard. One of the reasons the name was changed was to avoid confusion with the Côte-Vertu metro station, which opened in 1986. The current name, Montpellier, comes from the name of a nearby street and shopping mall. Another option for a station name was Saint-Laurent, but this was not chosen in order to avoid confusion with the existing Saint-Laurent Montreal metro station.

Location

The station is located at 465 Côte-Vertu Boulevard in Saint-Laurent between the intersections of Côte-Vertu/Jules-Poitras Boul. and of Côte-Vertu/Muir St.
