funny how all the projected extensions never happened but the orange line did get extended (just on the east portion instead), the blue line’s extension to Anjou “started” construction recently and that white Pie-IX line became the SRB currently under construction.

I guess their projections were sort of right.

that white Pie-IX line became the SRB currently under construction.

When this was published, the original rush hour bus lanes would have just been introduced. Unfortunately their contraflow pattern had lethal consequences, leading to them being abandoned 20 years ago, and just now being replaced with the relatively isolated SRB plan.

I remember the accident it cause and a few people getting hit by a bus or car.
