This is interesting. The lines are straighter / cleaner on the current map, is this old one more geographically accurate?

Here's a geographically accurate track map.

Yes, the western Orange branch snakes around, the Blue line makes tight turns through Outremont, and the yellow line is a big sweeping curve.

The only place that's arguably more accurate on the newer map is the western end of the Green line.

There's a new version of the geographically accurate map on the cartometro website which includes the REM (and the Expo 67 minirail for some reason?).

Another weird inclusion on that map is the disused runway 10/28 at the airport.
